Description	This article describes how to change the geographical location of a FortiGate on the VPN Location map.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	Remarks: It is possible to see FortiGate showing its location somewhere in the Gulf of Guinea (0°S, 0°E) on the VPN Location map. The reason behind this is that the Latitude and longitude are not set by default on the FortiGate.  It is possible to drag and drop the FortiGate at the correct location on the VPN Location Map, and the location will be saved.  To set specific latitude and longitude in the CLI, run the following commands: config system global     set gui-device-latitude 45.424721     set gui-device-longitude -75.695000 end After running the commands, the location is updated according to the configured latitude and longitude: Note: Running the CLI below allows FortiGate to display its location.
