Map Layers

Add your own shapes and overlays to the map.

Why it helps
A current map shows where responders and apparatus are and puts important locations in front of dispatchers.

How to configure it
Confirm members allow location sharing in the Responder app, and decide how long a position should stay on the map.

Before you begin

Examples for your department
Community paramedicine and mental health response: Map Layers: Use current operational team positions for visit coverage; choose a location lifetime and follow the service’s location-access procedures.
Search and rescue: Map Layers: Set a location lifetime suitable for remote search updates; use search-area POIs and distinguish stale positions from current team location.
Security companies and departments: Map Layers: Map patrol vehicles and site POIs; review stale-location lifetime before treating an old position as current patrol coverage.
Wildland contractors: Map Layers: Map staging, divisions and support vehicles; review device update frequency and stale location during remote assignments.
Industrial emergency response teams: Map Layers: Map facility access points, response equipment and team positions; review indoor or weak-signal limitations and fallback procedures.
