Once an incident has been cleared from CAD, the incident will also be cleared form the incident panel. Tool Bar Incidents Toggles from GST Mapper MDC to CAD CAD Requests updated CAD incident (Tag) when a tag is available in CAD but not yet displayed on the map. Used when the user is aware that there is an available incident\tag in CAD, but has not received the Request CAD notification on GST Mapper MDC. This may indicate that there was a short loss in network communication. Selecting this button will make a request to the server to check if an incident\tag is available. Tool Bar Unit List Unit List Displays viewing panel to view all available sister units within a predefined area. Tool Bar Routing Controls Places and keeps your vehicle centered on the map. The Center Poll crosshair icon will display Green when enabled, and Red when disabled. Center Poll The Center Poll button will become disabled when using the AVL locator function. It will need to be turned back on manually by selecting the button to display on Green when the AVL locator is not in use. Addresses or Generate a route or navigate between the sub tabs of from address, from unit, or from landmark. A route GPS Routing can be generated using a combination of any two of the three sub tabs Tool Bar Routing Controls Select the function and then click on two points on the map to generate a route. Clicking the first point will From-To mark an “Fr” to indicate the initial point; the second point selected “To” will indicate the destination point.

Tool Bar AVL Locator Clicking on this function toggles the AVL Locator on/off to temporarily change the Dynamic Grouping radius location. Upon selecting the AVL locator, the Center Poll function will be disabled, as the location to which the units AVL Locator are being Geobased located is now determined by the point selected with the AVL locator. Once a user is done using the AVL locator, click the button to disable it. The user will then need to select the Center Poll button to enable Center Poll and display units based off the user’s current location. Changes the Dynamic Grouping radius to another temporary location Define AVL Location Centers the new Dynamic Grouping radius location on the map Pan to AVL Location Tool Bar GST Navigator Allows the user to navigate to a chosen destination, incident location, or sister unit location. The Navigator may be launched manually by selecting the toolbar button. GST Navigator The Navigator automatically launches and routes to a location when it is being selected in the following locations: Nav to Tag, Nav to unit, Nav to address, and Nav to Landmark.
