Indoor Maps
Indoor maps — floor plans of a hospital, school, factory, stadium or shopping centre with named zones (rooms, wings, corridors, stairwells, hazard zones, assembly points, staging areas, access points, utility rooms, search grids) — are one type of custom map. They are created and edited on the Custom Maps page with the map type set to Indoor:
- each floor is a floor-plan layer (an image; large images are tiled automatically),
- each zone is a region drawn in the Region Editor with a type, colour, description and a searchable in dispatch flag,
- zones can carry pre-plan attachments and hazard markers.
Dispatchers pick an indoor location (map → floor → zone) on the New Call and Update Call pages; the apps show the floor plan with the zone highlighted, and search teams can mark Search grid zones during large-structure searches. Occupancies in Records link to the building's map for pre-plan walk-throughs.
The older /User/IndoorMaps/* links still work — they redirect to the equivalent Custom Maps page.
