Dears,

Can I use Google map or Google earth as background in forms but with no internet access?

You can save snapshot images from Google Earth/Maps and use those offline from the Internet. Just upload the files to your Ignition gateway. Using expression paths to reference the images would allow you to swap between many different images, if you need that.
