This tool is designed to search for places on the map and determine the address of points. It also allows you to save the marked place as a geofence.
To use the tool, select the Address item (the icon 
) from the tool menu on the left of the map.
Address source
The default address source provides searchable street data. WebGIS and Google are available.Â
Searching for a place on the mapÂ
If you want to find a place on the map, start typing its address in the Search address field and select the most suitable option from the list of suggested results. If nothing is found, try entering the data differently.
The result is marked on the map with a red marker:Â 
. The tool window displays additional information (see below).
Determining the address
There are two ways to find out the address of a place:
- Double-click on this place on the map.
- Enter the coordinates in the Latitude and Longitude fields and click Show. A dot is used as a separator between degrees and fractions.
The specified location is marked with a red marker, and additional information is displayed in the tool window (see below).
Information in the tool window
The tool window displays geographic latitude, longitude, and address (if available). If geofences have been created near the marked place, their list is displayed under the address field. To the left of the geofence name, you can see its color and the distance to the specified point if the Distance from unit to geofence option is enabled in the user settings.
If you have moved around the map, you can return to the initial position by clicking Show.
You can also see panoramic pictures of the result. To do this, expand the Google Street View in the tool window.
Saving a point as a geofence
You can save the marked place as a circle geofence. To do this, follow these steps:
- Expand the Save as geofence section in the tool window.
- Specify the geofence properties. The required fields are marked with an asterisk.
Property Description Resource* The resource in which the geofence should be stored. This is your account’s resource repository. Most IoTplot accounts will have one resource. This drop-down list is shown if more than one resource is available to the user. By default, the geofence is created in the resource of the user account.
Geofence name* The geofence name should contain at least one character. See input rules. Group The group to which the geofence should belong. Radius* The circle radius. The default value is 100 ft. - Click Save.
After that, the geofence is added to the work list on the Geofences tab. If necessary, you can edit its properties. Repeatedly clicking the save button will save several instances of the geofence. We recommend selecting the Geofences tab to see the additions in the list of Geofences.
