Network map

The Network map offers a comprehensive view of your entire network, transforming how you explore and navigate it. The Network map enhances discoverability, making it effortless to locate stops and access key information about your network.

If you are unsure about the location of a stop, the Network map empowers you to visually navigate the map and pinpoint the stop you need. Additionally, you can search for stops using their names or IDs for quick and precise results. It’s intuitive, user-friendly, and designed to save you time.

Dive into its capabilities to unlock the full potential of your network.

Accessing the Network map

You can find the Network map located in the navigation bar (1). If you're analysing a particular stop on the ‘Stop details’ page, simply click the map icon image-20250326-234307.png in the left sidebar panel (2) to jump directly to that stop on the map.

Toolbar

The toolbar provides filtering and configuration options to tailor what you see on the map:

  • Date Range

Adjust the timeframe for which on-time performance data is displayed. This affects tooltips, the side panel, and map rendering.

  • Operator and Service Filters

Narrow down what is shown on the map by selecting specific operators or services. This helps reduce visual clutter and allows you to focus your analysis.

  • Clear Filters

Reset the map to its default state by clearing any active filters.


Layers

Layers enable you to customise your map view by specific information overlays, helping you focus on what matters most. Base layers provide foundational map views, while overlays add specific data on top of base layers.

You can enable one base layer at a time to define the overall appearance of your map, but overlays can be added flexibly to display multiple layers of information simultaneously.

Base layers

  • Standard view: This is the default basemap offering a clear and simple view of your network.

  • Satellite view: This is the satellite basemap that provides a realistic, high-detail perspective of the area.

Overlays

  • Stops Layer: Stops are displayed by default as circles on the map. The level of zoom determines how stops are visualised - zoom out to see them clustered together or zoom in for individual stops with precise details.

How to Enable Layers

Activating and switching layers is quick and easy:

  1. Click on the ‘Layers’ icon in the bottom-right corner of the map.

  2. Select the layer you’d like to enable from the list.

  3. To return to the previous view, simply select the previous view.

When you enable the satellite view, you can gain additional insights such as identifying points of interest, observing land elevation, and locating features like traffic lights.


Stops Layer

The Stops layer is your essential tool for quickly identifying and exploring all stop locations within the network. Enabled by default, it ensures you always have this critical information at your fingertips.

How Stops are visualised

  • Stops appear as blue circles on the map (1), making them easy to identify.

  • When zoomed out, stops are grouped into clusters (2), with the number of stops displayed on each one.

  • As you zoom in, clusters break apart, and individual stop locations become visible with precise details.

  • Click on a stop (4): Open a detailed left-side panel with more information, including:

    • The On-Time Performance of the stop.

    • Additional data to help you assess its performance.

How it works

  • Navigating Clusters:

    • When viewing clusters, the number of stops within each cluster is displayed.

    • Click on a cluster to zoom in and reveal smaller clusters or individual stops.

    • Continue clicking until individual stops are fully visible on the map.

  • Exploring Stop Details:

    • Once you identify a stop by hovering over it, click on it to open the left-side panel.

    • To dive deeper into the stop’s details, click on the icon image-20250326-233354.png ‘View Stop Details’ at the top of the side panel. This will take you to the ‘Stop Details’ page, where more comprehensive information is available.
