Geographic Information System (GIS) is an information system for
storing, analyzing, managing and presenting digital data such as geographic
features present on the Earth's surface using spatial references. Some of the
GIS solutions available in the market are ESRI, Google Maps, Oracle Spatial,
etc.
A Geocode (Geospatial Entity Object code) is a representation format of a geospatial coordinate measurement used to provide a standard representation of an exact geospatial point location on the earth. For example, the format (41°54'12"N, 87°37'35"W) indicates latitude, longitude of a unique location on earth.
Latitude gives the location of a place on earth north or south of the equator. Lines of Latitude are the horizontal lines shown running east-to-west on maps. Latitude is given as an angular measurement ranging from 0° at Equator to +90° at North Pole and -90° at South Pole. An example of a latitude in DMS (Degrees Minutes Seconds) format is 41°54'12"N
Longitude is the east-west geographic coordinate measurement. Longitude is given as an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the prime meridian to +180° eastward and −180° westward.
An example of a longitude in DMS (Degrees Minutes Seconds) format is 87°37'35"W
Release 12.1.1 enables GIS Integration using web based source map viewer of Google maps and provision is given to allow assets/ instances to be geocoded so that they can be spatially located on the map viewer. All item instances, i.e. EAM Assets and OAT instances are eligible to be geocoded and viewed in the Asset map viewer

All item instances, i.e. EAM Assets and OAT instances are eligible to be geocoded and viewed in the Asset map viewer
Release 12.1.1 provides ability so that item instances can have a
provision to capture their geocodes i.e. Latitude and Longitude. This can be
done either manually through a mass data entry page or automatically through an
API.
In Enterprise Assets Maintenance, users can search for any EAM assets using simple/ advanced search, enter geocodes for the assets using the 'Mass Geocode Entry' form, then locate the resulting asset on the map viewer by invoking the 'Map All' button. Alternatively, users can navigate to the Asset details page and locate the particular asset on the map viewer.
When a user selects any asset icon on the map viewer, details such as Asset Number, Description, Asset Group, Owning Department, Asset Location and Geocodes are displayed in a pop up. Also, hyperlinks are displayed for performing the following actions:
1. View asset details page
2. Create work request
3. Create work order
4. View open work requests
5. View open work orders
6. View Graphical Asset hierarchy.

When user selects any of the above actions, the page control is
transferred to the appropriate tab in EAM responsibility with the context of
the asset number selected. All other details corresponding to the selected
asset number are defaulted when the page is rendered
