Common Questions and Problems

By default, the Master Map will show an overview of all your Territories with a Boundary.

If none of your territories have Boundary, the Master Map will show your Kingdom Hall Location.

If any of your Territory Boundaries are too far away or contain errors, the Master Map does not know where to show, and may show a strange location. Double-check all your Territory Boundaries.

Or, if you have not correctly entered your Country and Kingdom Hall address, the Master Map may also show a strange location.

Please see Territory Settings and clear the Map Cache.

We currently provide mapping data from 3 different map providers:

  1. ThinkGeo
  2. OpenStreetMaps
  3. Bing Maps

You can change the map provider in Territory Settings and select the provider that provides the most detail for your area.

The level of detail shown on the maps depends on the provider and the location. There is nothing we can do about this. We do not control map data.

Regardless of map provider or map detail, you can add Territory Address to all maps. Simply right-click any location to add an Address at that location. This will show a House, Apartment or Business icon at that location and be visible on the map.

Google Maps have by far the most detail, but is very, very expensive. We cannot add Google Maps at this time.

We are investigating adding more map providers in the future.

Individual, Congregation Bronze and Congregation Silver still include the Territory and Territory assignments functions that they previously had. 

The new advanced Territory features released in NW Scheduler 7.0, such as territory mapping and boundaries, adding addresses, letter writing and phone witnessing maps, require a Congregation Gold registration. You can draw 5 Territory boundaries and add some addresses to evaluate  these features before deciding whether to upgrade.

Please see the Register page of our website or Me > Registration > View all Features for more information.
