Hi Robbie,

> Honestly, the bigger use case is organization of devices. Trying to find the balance between locations and devices types. The only down side with geography-based locations in SNMP is naming conventions. For example, we have dozens of devices spread around the same city (and cities) so simply putting in the city/state doesn't work, we need the full address. Putting a legit address in an snmp location for the map to work is acceptable, but we had historically put in our own naming location conventions (ie phx-r1, iad-sw1) etc, similar to CLLI codes.

You can still use that naming convention if you want. You can map your own naming to full addresses in the config:

$config['location_map']['phx-r1'] = "120 East Van Buren St, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, US";

The web interface will always show the 'new' location, not the original one.
