IoT GPS Mapping

Unlock location-based insights from IoT devices

Bring IoT sensors data to life with geographic context to uncover trends, spot opportunities, and strategically plan routine maintenance. With Azure Maps, keeping track of IoT devices has never been simpler.

Azure Maps for IoT

Devices equipped with IoT sensors worldwide are collecting millions of data points every second. This data includes rich location data that can be turned into valuable business insights. With Azure Maps location services, you can pair the critical insights gathered by IoT sensors with GPS data to prevent devices from getting misplaced, improve security, and reveal location-based patterns.

Maintenance Planning

Technicians can access maps showing the locations of every IoT device. This simplifies scheduling and allows teams to maintain devices located in close proximity.

Location Selection

Review maps of existing device locations to pinpoint areas currently lacking in service, and determine optimal locations for new installations.

Enhanced Security

Access the exact location of IoT devices at a moment’s notice using precise GPS data to prevent theft and easily find misplaced property.

Trend Detection

Spot trends in data related to the location of a device. Proactively address problematic trends, or use positive trends to inform strategic decisions.

Many devices. One map.

With IoT GPS data and Azure Maps, you can create different categories for your devices and represent each category with its own icon on a map. Azure Maps’ geocoding API ensures precise location reporting for every device. By opening a map, administrators can view every asset their organization owns and monitor the status of each with only a few clicks.

Actionable geolocation insights

Monitor the current status of devices located within a specified geographic region and compare it with historic GPS data to detect trends and abnormalities within your IoT network. Use these findings to plan locations for new devices, narrow down on areas for business improvement, and plan maintenance for devices at scale.

Deploy the right team, at the right time

Efficiently manage IoT-enabled devices with the aid of Azure Maps. When a device signals for assistance, your application can display its precise location, enabling quick identification and deployment of the nearest technicians. This streamlined IoT mapping approach minimizes response times, optimizes resource allocation, and enhances service efficiency for government and service organizations.
