I can't get my dynamic position data to display.My JASON body looks like this:
{ "api_key": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "created_at": "2023-05-15T23:17:54.000Z", "field1": 50.71875, "field2": 20.375, "field3": 4.1132812, "field4": 91.625, "field5": 1523985, "lat": -25.8152875, "long": 152.58867187500002, "status": "Bauple" }
Fields 1-4 display fine, as does the Status field. However the position map always shows a balloon at (0,0). I've tried "lat" and "latitude", "long" and "longitude", but no luck. Any ideas?

Are you showing a position map of your channel? That location is set in the channel settings (see image). That's what shows the map when you click "show channel location" on the channel settings. The channel location can be different than the device location.
To display the device position (set in the channel feed data) I suggest creating a custom MATLAB visualization. See this post for some help.
You can read the feed location using the read data API with location=true, or in a similar way with thingSpeakRead.
Thanks Chris. It's a shame that the default channel position map does not work with dynamic data. I got the distinct impression from this post that it should work. Creating a custom MATLAB visualisation is of course possible but in my use-case not very practical. I have too many to do and the number of channels will, hopefully, be expanding rapidly.
I meant Fields 1-5 display fine...
