Using SmartMAP Map Markers

SmartMAP allows users to place markers on the map to identify incident locations, or the location of assets/items of interest. Map markers can be added from the marker menu, which can be accessed by selecting the marker

button. From the marker menu, users can manually add incident markers or custom text markers to the map.

Note: An incident marker is also placed on any location selected using the SmartMAP Search.

An added marker will be placed in the top left of the map at its current zoom level. Markers can then be re-positioned using a tap and drag gesture (touch-devices) or by clicking and dragging the marker (mouse-based devices).

Troubleshooting: If the map is zoomed in after a map marker has been added but before it is re-positioned, it may no longer be in view. To reveal the marker, users should zoom the map out and then place the map marker before zooming the map.

Incident Markers

Incident markers can be placed to indicate the location of an incident. Incident markers are represented on the SmartMAP map by this map marker icon. When selected from the marker menu, an incident marker will be placed in the top left of the map, next to the marker menu. The marker can then be re-positioned to the location of the incident. Incident markers can be selected to reveal a label. This label displays the address of the selected location, as well as options to display Nearby Hydrants and Preplans or to Remove Marker.

Selecting Nearby Hydrants and Preplans will highlight the nearby hydrants and preplans, and will also present the incident info panel. Selecting Remove Marker will remove the incident marker from the SmartMAP map.

Only one incident marker can be placed at a time. If a user tries to add a second incident marker, SmartMAP will present a dialog asking the user to clear the previous incident marker or cancel the action.

Text Markers

Text markers can be placed to indicate the location f an item of interest, such as an asset, a staging location, a hazard, etc. Text markers are represented on the SmartMAP map by a red text box with white lettering. From within the marker menu, users can enter text into the Text Marker text box. Selecting the add button will cause the text marker to be placed in the top left of the map, next to the marker menu. The marker can then be re-positioned to the desired location. Text markers can be selected to reveal a label that allows users to remove the text marker by selecting Remove Marker.
