Using the Map Dashboard

The Map Dashboard is a special type of dashboard that transforms your workspace to a single 2D map with quick access to management of vehicles (2), landmarks (3), and messaging (4).

The Map (1) provides the following options. Click to turn on / turn off these features:

Feature	Description
Search	(Located above the Map Toolbar.) Enter a search term for a vehicle, alert, report, landmark, place, address, or latitude and/or longitude coordinate (separated by a comma).
Drop Pin	Place a pin on a map and move it as needed by dragging-and-dropping it to any location. You can then quickly dispatch to/from this location, find the closest vehicle, obtain lat/lon coordinates and physical address, or create a landmark for repeated use.
Trails	Display one hour history trails on the map for all selected vehicles.
Landmarks	Display landmarks on the map.
Clusters	Represent more than one vehicle in a similar location with a clustered circle. Clusters provide enhanced clarity when viewing a bird's eye view of a map with a large number of vehicles. As you zoom in and vehicles appear farther apart, clusters update accordingly. The number in a cluster's center indicates the vehicles included, and the ring around the cluster indicates the statuses of the clustered vehicles. Colors correspond to the map legend. Use the Plus / Minus options to adjust the aggressiveness (sizing of the clusters).
Traffic	Identify the speed of traffic on the road compared to free-flowing conditions. For highways, green means there is a normal speed of traffic. The more red the road becomes, the slower the speed of traffic on the road. Gray indicates there is no data available.
Center	Automatically re-size and re-adjust the current zoom level of the map to include all vehicles in the view.
Points of Interest	Shows restaurants, businesses, parks, parking, and other points of interest.
Full Screen	Expand the map full screen.
Map View	Show the street map overlay (default).
Satellite View	Show the satellite image overlay.

Use your mouse to drag-and-drop the map to move it around. Refer to the following additional options for interacting with the map:

Feature	Description
Zoom In	Click to zoom toward the center of the map. You can also use the mouse wheel.
Zoom Out	Click to zoom outward from the center of the map. You can also use the mouse wheel.
Street View	Drag the yellow pegman to a location on the map for street-level imagery. (Click the X in the upper-right corner to exit.) You can also invoke Street View from the Vehicle Card.
