Screen location
GeoData is used to retrieve geolocation information to determine the physical location of a screen. This data enables features like viewing screens on the map overview and displaying local weather based on the screen's location.
This option is enabled by default and Smartsign identifies the screen’s location based on the device’s external IP address. However, this may be inaccurate if the internet provider’s gateway is located in a different area.
