Pre-Plans & Geofences

Peter Grammatas
  • Updated

PrePlan and Geofence markers are designed to let users link various resources, such as documents, images, maps, or blueprints, to specific points or areas on a map.

These resources can be anything that’s been digitized – from official documents to something as unconventional as a crayon drawing on a napkin that’s been scanned and saved as a PDF.

The goal is to provide agencies with the information they need in a format that works for them.

For example, if an agency has PrePlan paper books or binders, they can scan those pages and attach them to the relevant locations within their community map.

 

Document Limits:

    • 10 files per marker
    • no file may exceed 4MB
    • these formats only: pdf, png, jpg and bmp

 

Pre-Plans
