Preplans & Geofences
PrePlan and Geofence markers are designed to allow users to attach Documents, Images, Maps, Blueprints…Whatever they need, to a specific point on the map, or a region.
The documents can be ANYTHING that can be digitized. I have seen paper napkins with crayon writing on them that were scanned into a printer and made into a PDF.
- Whatever works for the agency and gets them the information they need.
Some agencies have PrePlan Paper Books/Binders. They can scan those pages and attach them to the correct locations in their community.
Document Limits:
-
- 10 files per marker
- no file may exceed 4MB
- these formats only: pdf, png, jpg and bmp
Preplans
(for a specific point on the map)
When all responders would be advancing on the incident location from the same general direction/side (like a house, or business).
Geofences
(a region, larger area on the map)
When all responders may be coming from DIFFERENT directions/sides of an incident (like an airport, state park, college/high-school campus, business park, industrial manufacturing facility).
