Display nodes on map at GPS coordinates

On each node there is a location section, allowing you to specify, the geographical location of the device.

I cannot find a way to make this display on a map where I set the background to a Geographic map.

I can add nodes any way I want, Layer2, topology, custom and they're on the map - but how do I get it to snap to the actual geographic location, or is this just not a feature?

If I right click a single node and select geolocation, it does drill it down right to where I specified, but how do I show all of them on a larger map, snapped to their location?

Also, is there a way to specify the map to be centered on the coordinates given, and not at the top left?

Thanks for a great product!

Lat/lon of nodes are used on the map in View -> World map. It's using Open Street Map background from server configurable in Server Configuration (TileServerURL).

Awesome, thanks!

Is there a way to lock the items so they can't be moved around on a network map?

A "locked" way of map viewing was discussed, but it not yet implemented. Current situation is that all elements are movable, but when user closes the map, no question about saving changes is asked. When opening the map again all items will be on positions when the map was last saved.

Has this been added? Sounds like a great feature! Its frustrating to have things move around on me.

Map improvements are currently in development, expected to be included to 5.0 in a few months.
