All, 
For the upteenth time, we will need to re-map all of our access points in a 
Cisco GUI. Originally they were in Prime. Then we got DNAC and were told to 
migrate them there. But, just found out that you cannot export the mappings 
(blank maps yes, mappings no) from DNACv1 to DNACv2. And as the sync is only 
one way, Prime to DNAC, we cannot seamlessly return to Prime. 

Until Cisco gets their act together, we will do the re-mapping in Prime and 
have that be our source of truth. My question to the community is this. How do 
you handle the AP placement mappings? If there is a better way that manually 
dragging the images to the proper location, I would love to hear it. I see that 
you can use GPS coordinates but how can you get accurate coordinates inside a 
building? Ideally, I would like to create a spreadsheet of AP and locations and 
then upload it to said system. This way if Prime database gets corrupted (which 
has happened) or DNACv2-v3 also is not seamless, we do not have to spend the 
hours remapping everything ... again.
