When a user selects an active building tile from the SmartMAP Map, a incident info panel
window will be presented. This pop-up displays the address for the selected
location, and allows users to access building and fire flow measurement info, and the
satellite imagery of the location: it also provides access to the SmartMAP Measure
Tool, and the SmartMAP Layers tool. The incident info panel
also provides access to the SmartMAP
Reset button, which resets
the SmartMAP (deselecting the selected building outline and removing highlighting on
hydrants and preplans).
Note: For
information on how to use the SmartMAP tools mentioned above, see the relevant
section of this documentation.
Building and Fire Flow Measurement
The building area and fire flow requirements are automatically calculated and
presented to the user when an active building tile is selected. A drop-down allows
for the toggling between ft² and m² for the building area. For the fire flow
requirements, drop-downs are presented that allow users to input the number of
floors, the percentage of involvement (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%), as well as to select
the unit of measurement for the fire flow (GPM or LPM).
Note: The fire flow
calculation used by SmartMAP is the National Fire Academy (NFA)
formula.
Satellite Imagery
The Google Maps satellite imagery for a selected location is automatically captured
and presented to SmartMAP users. The satellite view can be displayed from within the
incident info panel by selecting the 
button. The satellite view will appear directly above the incident info
panel. Users can then pan around within the displayed satellite view and zoom in or
out. Selecting View Larger Map will open Google Maps in a new
browser tab, allowing easy access to useful features like turn-by-turn directions,
and Google Street View.
SmartMAP Reset
The SmartMAP Reset button deselects the current building tile,
removes the highlighting on any hydrants and preplans, resets any changes made using
the SmartMAP Layers tool, and also removes any map markers that have been placed on
the map.
