To Navigate the SmartMAP Map

This procedure details the steps for navigating the SmartMAP Map.
  1. If necessary, open SmartMAP
    Tip: If a SmartMAP shortcut has been added to the Home Screen or Desktop, it can be used to open SmartMAP.
    The SmartMAP Map will open. Color-coded clusters will be presented on the map, indicating the number of preplans clustered in that area.
    Note: At the default zoom level, building tiles, hydrants hydrant icon, and individual preplans building will not be visible. Zooming in on the map will present this information.
  2. To move around the SmartMAP Map, use the following gestures:
    • Use a pinch/expand gesture to zoom in/out of the map
      Tip: For non-touch devices, the scroll control can be used to zoom in and out. Controls to zoom in and out will also be presented in the top right of the map for all devices.
    • Use a tap and drag gesture to pan around on the map
      Tip: For non-touch devices, click and drag to pan the map.
    • Use a two-finger rotate gesture to rotate the map
      Tip: For non-touch devices, right-click and drag to rotate the map. Controls to reset the orientation to North being up will appear in the top right, below the zoom controls, for all devices.

  4. To access the SmartMAP incident markers and text markers, select the SmartMAP Marker button marker menu

  5. Select an active building tile to display the incident info panel, the nearest hydrants, and any relevant preplans
    Note: Active building tiles are presented as orange building outlines. Nearest hydrants and/or relevant preplans are presented as larger than the other hydrants/preplans.
    The selected building tile will be displayed with a green border, and a window will be displayed. If any preplans are associated with the selected location, the relevant preplan icon will also be displayed with a green border. A pop-up window will be presented, displaying building measurement and fireflow measurement information. The SmartMAP Measure Tool and the SmartMAP Layers Tool are also accessible from here.
  6. To modify the building measurement/fire flow calculations for the selected building tile, use the drop-down fields located in the incident info panel window
  7. To access the satellite view for the selected location, select the up arrow button
    Tip: Select View Larger Map to open Google Maps in a new browser tab.
  8. To view the information for a nearby hydrant or relevant preplan, select the desired hydrant icon or building
    Note: As of SmartMAP 1.0, only hydrants and preplan icons highlighted by selecting an active building tile, or by selecting Nearby Hydrants and Preplans for an incident marker, are selectable.
    CAUTION: Selecting Reset will also remove highlighting of any hydrants and preplans, and will reset any changes to measurement calculations.
  9. To deselect a selected building tile, select Reset within the building information pop-up window
