Features

Advanced mapping, in a simple one-page application.

The tools operations rooms use every day, from the first spot on the map to the briefing at the end of the shift.

Your structure

Built around how you work.

Create the categories, groups and types your organization thinks in, each with its own shape and colour.

  • Custom categories, groups and types

    Create a category for anything you track, then groups and types under it. Each category is either time based (incidents and reports that follow your date filters) or static (sites and assets that are always on the map).

  • Shapes, colours and labels

    A category picks the shape, a group its fill and border colours, and a type a short label of up to two characters. Every spot is recognisable at a glance.

  • Spot Manager and filter

    One tree shows your whole structure with live counts. Tick to show or hide any branch, search it, or Show All and Hide All in one click.

Plot and assess

Every report, weighed and shared.

Right-click the map to add a spot. Its country, grid reference and place names fill in by themselves, and everyone sees it the moment you save.

  • Add a spot easily

    Click the map, right-click and choose Add New Spot, or paste a copied spot. Country, MGRS and location tags fill in by themselves, and Now stamps the current time.

  • Assessment built in New

    Rate each report by impact level (ILI 1 to 9), source reliability (A to F) and information credibility (1 to 6), so everyone reads it with the right weight.

  • Images and PDF files

    Drop up to six photos or PDFs on any spot, such as a site's security and evacuation plans. Images open as a slideshow in its details.

  • Share a spot or overlay

    Send a link that opens the spot or overlay on its own map, with its details, files and base maps, for anyone outside your team.

Areas and geofences

Draw the lines that matter.

Mark out areas of interest, routes and no-go zones, keep them in groups, and know the moment someone crosses one.

  • Draw and customize overlays

    Draw circles, rectangles, polygons and lines, with their own fill, border, opacity and on-map label, and guidance at every step.

  • Overlay Manager

    Keep overlays in groups, find any one by name, show or hide it, or disable a whole group for every user at once.

  • Geofence alerts New

    Turn an area into a geofence and get an alert when an assigned person enters it, leaves it or goes over a speed limit inside it.

  • Measurement tool

    Measure distances point by point, and see the area of any overlay you draw, for example a search area, at the touch of a button.

Your team

Know where everyone is.

Positions arrive from the mobile app as people move, and every route stays on record for 30 days.

    See your people move on the map from the mobile app, with their speed, heading and grid reference.

  • Tracking history

    Replay any device's paths from the last 30 days, with times, points and top speed.

  • SOS that can't be missed

    An SOS from the field sounds an alarm, turns the top bar red and shows who needs help and where.

  • Real-time notifications

    Every new or changed spot and overlay reaches every user instantly, with a sound and a message, and the map updates itself.
