Monitor - Panel Map
You can use the Map panel to display a map section with the location of the current alarm. The prerequisite for this is that the location is transferred with the address and coordinates when an alarm is triggered.
💡 All adjustments to the panel are only applied when the editing view is exited using the Save button.
1️⃣ The input field for the title allows you to add a heading to the panel. The font color of the heading and the background color of the panel can be adjusted for the visual design.
2️⃣ You can use the zoom level to zoom in or out of the map section.
3️⃣ The function, Show location of alerted units, shows you the last position of your units on the map known to the system. The prerequisite for this is that the positions of the respective units are transmitted to GroupAlarm. Details on the positions of units can be found here.
4️⃣ By default, OpenStreetMap is used as the basic view for the map. However, you can also select other maps via the drop-down menu. Select your preferred map view here.
Additional layers with additional information can then be placed over the basic view of the map. A selection is also available for this purpose. These include, for example, water extraction points, locations of defibrillators or assembly points.
You can also place a DWD (German Weather Service) layer over the map to obtain information about the weather conditions at the location. Various layers such as precipitation radar or weather warnings are also available here.
As the DWD layer could obscure the actual map depending on the weather conditions, you have the option of making it individually transparent.
5️⃣ GeoJSON URL allows you to integrate your own GeoJSON data. This requires the active URL to a valid GeoJSON file.
⚠️ The use of the GeoJSON URL function requires knowledge of handling GeoJSON data.
To include possible authentications in the HTTP header, use the Header field and Value fields.
If your GeoJSON file contains its own icons for markers within the properties field, you can include this icon using the Marker icon selection field. Three selection options are available here:
If you receive the GeoJSON from the RescueTABLET interface, you can select RescueTablet there directly.
If you want to use the icon behind a URL as a marker icon, use Custom URL.
If you want to select your own JSON field that contains a URL to an icon, select Own path. You can now enter the JSON path within the properties in the field below. For example, use marker.iconURL to access the icon URL within the properties field in the example below.
