Map Service in Cisco Spaces includes the following features to keep Location Hierarchy in sync with the imported map data:

• Maps exported from Cisco Prime Infrastructure or Catalyst Center and imported into Cisco Spaces using Map Service appears automatically under Location Hierarchy.

• When you import or synchronize maps from various sources: Catalyst Center, Cisco Prime Infrastructure or Cisco Meraki, support is extended to normalize and unify network hierarchies into a single business-orientated hierarchy.

• If you delete a location from Location Hierarchy, it will also be removed from Map Service.

• When you delete a zone location from the Map Service UI, the zone location is also is deleted from Location Hierarchy.

• AP import restrictions have been implemented based on the AP license limits for the Cisco Spaces account.

The GPS markers warning message that is displayed in the Import History section shows the entire hierarchy in the Import History section for the floor with invalid GPS markers.

Note

We recommend that you use Google Chrome Browser while working with maps. Map operations are best supported in Google Chrome. Map actions on other browsers are limited. If your locations have maps, create a map-based location hierarchy. However, if you have already created a location hierarchy through WLCDirect > AP prefix, CMXOn-Prem Auto-Sync, or CMXManual Upload and have imported the maps containing the overlapping APs, then the APs will be moved to a map-based hierarchy. If a location is deleted from Map Service, then only the corresponding access points are removed from Location Hierarchy. Map Service API performance is enhanced to get the import history and status.

Support for Map Hierarchy Migration from Cisco Prime Infrastructure to Catalyst Center: Cisco Spaces Location Hierarchy supports import of migration data with nested sites from Cisco Prime Infrastructure to Catalyst Center.

Support for Cisco DNA Center Nested Site Hierarchy: You can import or synchronize new sites from Catalyst Center to Cisco Spaces on top of the existing site hierarchy.

Support for Planned Access Point (AP) Import: You can import planned APs into Map Service.
