Hey @abrahim, you can set the latitude and longitude of a Point on a GIS map to the coordinates you have stored. You could do this programmatically if you've imported those points from an Excel sheet into a Global Table. Simply loop through each row in your table, create a GIS Point in the GIS Map, and set its coordinates.

@Kavika F can you give some details about how this loop could be created?

Hey @Maíra A, here's an example of how you'd do this.

Let's say you have a GIS map and a table of coordinates:

You can run some code to (1) get the lat and long from the table, (2) create a GIS Point, and (3) set the coordinates of that point using the .setProperty() function on Objects. Points have a Latitude and Longitude property you can set.

Table table = Table("Coordinates");
for (int i = 1; i <= table.numRows; i++) {
  double lat = table[i][1];
  double long = table[i][2];
  Object point = Object.create("GIS::Point");
  point.setProperty("Latitude", lat);
  point.setProperty("Longitude", long);
}

It will look like this:

Here's the model (FlexSim 2025): GIS-Automation.fsm

To clear a GIS map of all points, you can clear the subnodes of the GISNavigator.

treenode nav = Model.find("GISNavigator");
nav.subnodes.clear();

Hope this helps.

@Kavika F perfect explanation, thank you so much! My challenge is to test different combinations of these routes, gruping them by distance. How can i easly change the paths without clicking one by one?
