Add, edit, and delete map views

FH Mobile Response incorporates the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) GIS mapping system. You can use this system to create map views that specify what layers appear on the map, and save these views for fast access in the future. Layers can include icons, streets labels, landmarks, building footprints, location push-pins, routes and routing icons, plumes, and more.

Example: If you want to only see the locations of streets and hospitals on a map, you would create a map view with only the base map, streets, street names (labels), and hospital layers showing, and all other layers hidden.

Note:

  • These map views do not save a geographic information system (GIS) map with specific pan, zoom, and center information for the map. The views save only the layer information visible when you save the map view.

  • Each layer has a specific scale/zoom level requirement that you must meet for the icons to appear on a map. If you are zoomed out too far, the icons do not appear even when you select the map view you created to display them.

    Example: Suppose you want to view the hospitals on the map. Hospitals are stored on the Hospitals (1:12,000-1:5,001) layer. If you are not below that zoom range, the hospital icons do not appear on the map.

Map views are stored in .MXD files.

Note: You must have purchased FH Mobile Response Premium to add map views of information layers in FH Mobile Response. For information on upgrading from FH Mobile Response Basic to Premium, contact your FH sales representative.
