IBM IoT Real-Time Insights and multiple map events

I am using IBM IoT Real-Time insights and sending in an event which contains:

{ "d": { "speed": 105, "lat": 34.147543, "lng": -99.300058 } } When I send in an event, the map correctly updates with the correct marker as expected:

However, when I send in a second event without changing any of its content, the map changes and shows the following marker position:

My gut is telling me that the second event is providing coordinates of 0, 0 ... but it is exactly the same event as the first. If I select a new dashboard and go back to the first with the map, this pattern repeats. The next event shows fine and the one after that shows me West Africa. I am able to trivially recreate.

Solution

  • The resetting of latitude and longitude coordinates with the maps widget is a limitation that is currently being addressed by the IoT Real-Time Insights team. Keep an eye on the What's new in Bluemix section for news about new features as they are released.
