Route to a found location

Note: To route to a found location, you must have already defined a starting point for the route in one the following ways.

  • (If you are using a GPS device) Configured a global positioning system (GPS) device to track your current location. Your current location is the starting point for the route.

    Information on configuring a GPS device with FH Mobile Response is available in Set up GPS communication with FH Mobile Response.

  • (If you are not using a GPS device) Manually defined a start point on the map.

    Information on manually setting a starting point is available in Manually define a starting point for a route.
  1. (If you have not done so already) Find the location on the map, as described in Find a location on a map.

  2. If more than one location appears in the tab listing the found locations, select the location you want to mark as the route's destination location.

    The push-pin on the map moves as necessary to identify the location you selected on the tab.

  3. Depending on whether you are viewing the search results in basic or advanced mode, do one of the following.

    Note: To display the results list in the tab in either basic or advanced mode, click Switch to Basic or Switch to Advanced. The name of the button changes, depending on which mode you are currently in.

    ClosedBasic mode

    • In the tab listing the search results, above the list, click the right-pointing arrow, then choose Route To

    ClosedAdvanced mode

    Note: You can mark a result as a route-to location in the advanced mode in the same manner as in the basic mode, in addition to the steps below.

    1. To the right of each item in the search results, click the right-pointing arrow.

    2. From the menu that appears to the right, choose Route To.

    The Routing Maps tab opens, a Destination label appears on the map at the detector or sensor you selected, the route from the starting point to the location you selected appears on the map as a thick blue line, and each turn is identified by a colored dot. The smaller map in the upper right corner of the interface displays the entire route and, if you are using a GPS device, your current location on the route.

    If you manually set the starting point, the turn-by-turn directions pane in the lower right corner displays the message Not Routing From GPS, and only the address of the detector or sensor appears in the pane. If you are using a GPS device, the turn-by-turn directions pane populates with additional information.
