Google Maps in-Store

Benefit from the latest version of Google Maps, unlimited geocoding, real-time traffic conditions, satellite imagery, and street maps. This robust set of map functionalities optimizes fleet management. Configure Google Maps across applications in the GpsGate Store. Here are a couple of things to know:

• If a Google Maps key exists, and nothing is done, no changes will occur in the platform
• If a Google Maps key already exists, and Google Maps in-Store is enabled, the in-Store version will override the existing version
• When Google Maps keys get disabled, the feature can be re-enabled from the Store
