You configure the settings of the Map Manager role from the Roles view of the System task in Security Center Config Tool.

Map Manager - Properties tab

Click the Properties tab to change the default settings for this role, and configure the external resources managed by this role, such as the map providers and the KML objects.

Map providers
List of third-party map providers (GIS) that you are licensed to use. The list of map providers also serves as a geocoding priority list. This means that the map provider at the top of the list is the first to be tried as the geocoding provider. If this provider cannot return a result, the next provider in the list is tried.
Tip: To see whether geocoding is enabled or not on a map provider, select the map provider and click Edit the item ().
Map layers
List of imported KML objects that can be displayed on any georeferenced map. Each KML object corresponds to a distinct map layer that the Security Desk users can choose to show or hide.
Cache location
The cache is a folder where the map tiles are stored. When you create maps from images files, the role generates a set of small images, called map tiles, for each zoom level at which you need to view the map. The larger the map scale, the more map tiles the role must generate. The default folder is C:\ProgramData\Security Center\Maps.
Port
HTTP port used by the Map Manager to communicate with client applications. (Default=8012).
Default map
The system default map, also known as the global default map, is used when a user has not configured a personalized default map. You can only set the global default map after creating your first map.
Backward compatibility
When switched ON after an upgrade, client applications from Security Center 5.8 and earlier can continue to download and show image maps.
Best Practice: Switch Backward compatibility OFF after all client applications have been upgraded for enhanced security.

Click the Record fusion tab to select the maps and map object types you want to use in the Records investigation report.
Maps
Maps that are used for location correlation. At least one map object type must be selected in the bottom list.
Use map locations for
The selected object types are registered in the Record Fusion Service as record types and can be queried from the Records investigation task. All map objects registered as record types can be filtered on their Location, Name, Description, and Entity attributes. For more information, see Using correlation to derive useful intelligence.
