MDM vehicle profile configuration

BlueLightMaps supports MDM/Intune configuration to set default vehicle profiles for your organisation. These defaults are applied only on first app install and users can customise them afterward.

Important Notes

⚠️ Configuration is only applied on first install
⚠️ Changing MDM settings later will not affect existing users
⚠️ To apply new settings, you must uninstall and reinstall the app
✅ Users can customise profiles after initial setup
✅ Configuration applies to both emergency and non-emergency variants

Configuration Keys

Visibility Controls

We support a maximum of 4 visible profiles. Control which vehicle profiles are available to users, these will be seen on the route planning screen

Category	Visibility key	Visibility default
Car	`car_visible`	true
Truck	`truck_visible`	true
Smooth Truck	`smoothtruck_visible`	false
Large Truck	`largetruck_visible`	false
Bicycle	`bicycle_visible`	false
Pedestrian	`pedestrian_visible`	false

Note: Custom vehicle icons are no longer supported. The *_icon_preset keys from earlier versions of this page can be removed from existing configurations; each profile now uses its standard icon.

Vehicle Dimensions

Set default dimensions for truck categories (values must be strings):

Key	Type	Range	Description
`truck_width`	string	“1.5” – “3.0”	Width in meters
`truck_height`	string	“2.0” – “5.0”	Height in meters
`truck_weight`	string	“1000” – “35000”	Weight in kilograms
`smoothtruck_width`	string	“1.5” – “3.0”	Width in meters
`smoothtruck_height`	string	“2.0” – “5.0”	Height in meters
`smoothtruck_weight`	string	“1000” – “35000”	Weight in kilograms
`largetruck_width`	string	“1.5” – “3.0”	Width in meters
`largetruck_height`	string	“2.0” – “5.0”	Height in meters
`largetruck_weight`	string	“1000” – “35000”	Weight in kilograms

Note: Dimensions must be provided as strings in MDM configuration due to Android restrictions format.

Fire Appliances should always be configured as ‘largetruck’.

Note: *_weight sets the gross weight the app compares against posted limits. It does not control whether posted limits are obeyed. Emergency routing ignores weight limits by default, and that setting, along with any per-road exceptions, stays with the crew on the device. There is no MDM key for it. See Weight limits. Setting an accurate weight still matters: the moment a crew turns the exemption off, every route depends on it.
