Geographic & Indoor Maps
OpenWISP provides a unified web interface to monitor network status across all scales: start with a global geographic overview, drill down into specific buildings via indoor maps, and switch between floors to track devices in real time.
Indoor Map View with Floor Navigation
The dashboard map includes an indoor view with floor switching and full-screen mode.
Shareable Geographic Map URLs
Interactions with location or device nodes on the geographic map update the URL, which can be bookmarked or shared.
Shareable Indoor Map URLs
Interactions with indoor device nodes update the URL, which can be bookmarked or shared.
Jump from Device Detail to General Map
Easily jump from the device detail page to the full geographic map, where the current device is already in focus and nearby devices are visible.

Real-Time Device Position Updates
Device positions on the map are updated when new location data is received.
Real-time map updates are delivered using WebSocket connections, allowing
the frontend to receive live location data without polling. The common
location broadcast channel is available at /ws/loci/location/ and is
used to push device location updates to geographic map views as soon as
new data is received.
The location broadcast channel requires authentication. Access is controlled based on organization membership:
Superusers: Can receive location updates for all organizations.
Regular Users: Can only receive location updates for organizations they manage.
This ensures that location data is properly scoped and users can only receive real-time updates for locations within their managed organizations.
