GPX or GeoJson Track on a Map component

Hi all,

A customer needs to overlay lines on a Map component (highvoltage Cabel). There need to be sectors of 3 Meters lengh. Those sectors should show different colors acording to the temperaturevalues from the cabel.

I tried to set those long/lat coordinates manualy but this would not be feasible for the whole cable lengh. I tried to use geojson but could not find out how that works.
Has anybody a example how to use geojson?
Or is there another way to draw those cables to a mapcomponent for example with a gpx file?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards Marco

Marco is looking at a way to overlay large numbers of small lines (or polylines), each representing 3 meter cable segments. They will not move, but should be capable of changing color based on status. What options are available to accomplish this?

As a resource, I created this document when I was learning to use the Ignition Map component (largely focuses on tile servers and ArcGIS). GeoJSON is mentioned at the end. It may provide a viable option in addition to native Perspective Map elements (e.g. polyline).

From the dev team:
Best option is to roll your own GeoJSON. First start by creating a static dataset that works how you want on the Perspective Map component (instructions at the end of the document I posted). We can separately deal with the problem set of dynamically generating the GeoJSON in the appropriate format (queries, scripting, transform, http binding, etc).

The Perspective Map component does not currently support “styles”. There is an active ticket (IGN-3354) to improve the map component, work not to start before 1Q22. If you email me a business case tied to customer examples I can get the support and requirement “ask” into the ticket. This ticket should include support for KML and GPX conversion to GeoJSON.

Thanks Nathan!
I will send you the email with the business case.
Is there any way to set colors of the lines? (something like that simplestyle-spec/1.1.0 at master · mapbox/simplestyle-spec · GitHub)?

Did KML into Map components / layers get released?

I am being asked to import KML for nat gas piping.
