The map is more useful when it holds the incident, not only the RF. POI, Perimeters, and Results sit beside Analysis so you can brief from one glass.
Points, tracks, and areas
POI is for camps, dips, hazards, extra ICPs, and anything else that is not a repeater site. Points use familiar NWCG symbols, then a set of generic markers (flag, star, target, shapes, building, parking, and so on) plus a colored pin. If you name a drop point like DP 112 (or just the number), the marker fills with that number so the board stays readable from a distance. Helispots do the same for names like H12, H-12, or Heli 12. Draw a track or an area by clicking vertices and finishing when the shape is right. You can drag markers and handles while you edit. Import KML, KMZ, GPX, or GeoJSON with a preview checklist; export the same way. Viewers can export; they cannot add or rewrite.
The floating Overlays toolbox on the map shares one opacity slider for POIs and lets you tick each point symbol type that is on the map, plus each track and area by name. Testing overlays split command vs tactical reports the same way. Fire keeps an all-on master switch and a checkbox per loaded perimeter. TFR is a single on/off plus fade for live FAA restrictions near the current view. Land and TFR start collapsed so the stack stays short. In 3D, every Overlays checkbox that is on also shows on the tilted map: coverage, routes, access, placement, fire, TFRs, sites, ops, POIs, and Testing (command circles and tactical diamonds). Site-link hops go straight through the air from pin to pin (dots when a plan site is involved, dashes when both ends are live). Pins that are behind a ridge or behind the camera hide so they do not float in the sky.
Overview’s ICP uses the same ICP symbol as POI. You can still drop extra command-post symbols if the incident has more than one. Kits marked Show on map (with coordinates) appear as ops locations; kits already linked to a site are skipped so you do not double-pin the pad.
Who owns the pad
Overlays → Land → Ownership turns on click-to-identify. Click the map (not while you are placing or measuring) and the parcel under the cursor highlights. The card shows the owner of record when a public county or state layer publishes it, plus APN, situs, county, and land status from the BLM surface-management layer (Forest Service, BLM, private, tribal, state, local). A second click clears it.
There is no single free national owner list. Montana usually returns a name. Washington gives parcel id, address, and a county assessor link. Utah often gives parcel id and owner type only. California and many other counties hide the name on the public map — the card says so and can link to the assessor. This is a planning aid, not a title search; confirm before you hang a temporary repeater.
Temporary flight restrictions
Overlays → TFR → Restrictions paints live FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions around the window you are looking at, not the whole country. Pan or zoom and it refreshes when you leave that envelope. Click a red outline for the NOTAM, type (hazards, VIP, airshow, and the rest), and a link to the FAA graphic TFR. Fade the slider if it sits on top of coverage. This is a briefing aid — check tfr.faa.gov before anyone flies.
Fire outlines
Perimeters draw as outlines only, so coverage shade stays readable underneath. Search pulls current national fires, year-to-date fires that aged off the current layer, and CAL FIRE / FIRIS where those apply. You can stack more than one fire. Each saved outline gets its own color; change it from the swatch in the saved list. Click a perimeter for acres, containment, and source.
If Overview looked up the fire, Mapping can load that outline when you open the map and refresh it from live data. Clear only lifts the layers off the glass; saved fires come back the next time you open Mapping. Remove a fire from the saved list when you are done with it.
Results and handoff
Results (the Saved Data tab) is the shelf for coverage maps, links, point checks, routes, and access drives — not fires (those live under Perimeters). Use the fold button on the left of a group to tuck that list away; this browser remembers which sections you left open. Click a row to load it. Badges tell you Visible, Hidden, or Loaded. Opening a coverage adds that run without clearing others for the same site, so you can keep yesterday’s ITM map next to this morning’s try. Coverage rows show site, engine, and date; links and point checks show the pair and a quality badge. Access rows are the saved drive to a pad (Overlays has the same list); they are not radio corridors. How to build one is under Driving to a site.
Export on Results opens a picker: choose the saved item and a format. KMZ carries coverage shade and a dBm legend for desktop Google Earth. KML, GPX, GeoJSON, and CSV are for GPS and GIS apps — a saved access drive exports as the chosen line for a truck GPS. PDF is a print-ready report; coverage PDFs sit the shade on a topo with the same style of pins you see on the map. The workspace Export button is different — it captures what is currently visible, including overlay fades you set.
