Position Maps Configuration
Position Maps are displayed in the Dashboard and show the positions of shots, passes, etc.. that were tagged during a game.
Position maps display positions exactly as they were tagged. While tagging, a rotation button above the map lets each device turn the graphic through 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° without changing the tagged positions — see Rotating a Position Map.
Position Maps
You can configure 3 different types of Position Maps:
- Event Position Map - this is based on a single Event
- Linked Event Position Map - this is based on a linked Event
- Multi Event (merged) Position Map - this takes a selection of the above Position Maps and Linked Events Position Maps and combines them into one map.
