Route from a detector or sensor location

If you have enabled the display of detector or sensor icons in a map, you can route a detector or sensor's location to a destination location.

Note: You must have purchased FH Mobile Response Premium to view detector and sensor icons and information in FH Mobile Response. For information on upgrading from FH Mobile Response Basic to Premium, contact your FH sales representative.

Note: To route from a found location to a destination, you must have already defined a destination point for the route. Information on manually setting a destination point is available in Manually define a destination point for a route
