More specifically, a method and apparatus determines a geographic position of each node in a plurality of nodes within a data network; determines an icon to represent each node in the plurality of nodes; overlays each of the icons onto a geographically accurate map, where each icon is position at the geographic position for the node represented by the icon; determines node connectivity; and overlays, upon the geographically accurate map, a graphical link between pairs of icons representing node connectivity. In this manner, a network operator is provided a geographically accurate view of a data network including nodes and the connectivity of the nodes.
