Google Maps Dialog Box

To open this dialog box:
In Polaris Administration, select Profiles, PAC, Google Maps.

Use this dialog box to enable the Map It! feature in Polaris PowerPAC and/or Mobile PAC. This feature provides a visual guide to the location of items linked to titles in the patron’s search results list. The Map It! feature includes the zoom, pan, satellite and map imagery available on Google’s hosted mapping site.

Enable in PowerPAC - Select (check) Enable to display the Map It! button in Polaris PowerPAC when this organization is the connection organization.
Enable in Mobile PAC - Select (check) Enable to display the Map It! link in Mobile PAC when this organization is the connection organization.
API key - If you are implementing Map It for the first time after June 2016, enter your Google Maps API key in the box. For more information about obtaining the API key, go to https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#keysystem. If you implemented Map It before June 2016 and are simply changing your settings, the API key is not necessary.
Geographic center of map position - Enter the latitude and longitude that should be used to position the initial display of the map. You can enter up to 20 characters in each box. Valid characters include one minus sign (to indicate a negative number, must be the first character), one period (to indicate a decimal point) and numerals 0-9. The allowed range is -90 to 90 latitude, and -180 to 180 longitude. If you have entered geographic coordinates for the system organization in the system-level Geographic Coordinates database table, these are already entered as the default values. If no system coordinates have been entered, the default coordinates are those of the current organization. If these have not been entered in the Geographic Coordinates database table, the Latitude and Longitude fields are blank.
Zoom level of initial display - This setting determines the zoom level of the initial map display. The default level is 10; valid values are 1-21. Higher numbers produce a view that is zoomed in closer.
