Configure offline maps (Nuix Investigate)

Nuix Investigate supports the mbtiles maps format for offline maps. Follow OpenMapTiles documentation for instructions on how to set up your server.

See below for an example of how it can be configured.

Note: If Nuix Investigate is secure via TSL (HTTPS), the offline map server must also be secure. If Nuix Investigate is not secure (HTTP), the offline map server can be either secure or not secure.

Download maps

To download the maptiler:

Open maptiler and filter on a region to download a smaller subset.

Download a Node.js server for Windows. Select to install all additional tools automatically.

This server can then be moved offline by changing the directory:
