Thingworx has the Google map widget, but i can't use it in my region. I want to use another Baidu or other map, but i don't know how to do. Who has good method? Thank you very much.

Hi @YL_9503225.

 

If another community member is not able to offer a solution, you have the option of writing your own extension.  Here are some resources to help you get started.

We used to have a Baidu map widget on the marketplace but it looks like has been removed since.

You would need to create your own, you could take a look at the google map widget and redo it for Baidu.

Yes, I had searched in the PTC marketplace and didn't found the extension. It's a challenge to create a baidu map widget by myself. Do you know the reference about redo the google map?
