Add the Map control (the pyTrackingMap rule) to a section, dynamic layout, or harness to enable users to interact with location points, and view user tracks on a map from within a desktop or mobile app. You must configure a dynamic system setting that stores the Google API key, because the control uses the Google Maps service.
