1. Create two custom host attributes like described here: Custom attributes
   
   one attribute will be named "lat" and the other one "long."
   
   
   
   

   
   

   Note
   You need to select the Checkbox "Add to monitoring configuration" to make both attributes available for NagVis.

   .

2. Start adding the information to your hosts; you need at least one with coordinates configured.
   
   
3. Navigate to NagVis and create a new map of the type 'Geographical map (non-interactive).'
   
   
4. Go to Edit Map → Map Options
