Getting started
This page walks through your first ten minutes with Blue Light Maps on the cab screen.
What you’ll find on the screen
Section titled “What you’ll find on the screen”When the responder app first opens, you’ll see the map centred on your station, with your assigned vehicle profile in the top-left corner. The route panel on the right is empty until you’re assigned an incident.
Receiving an incident
Section titled “Receiving an incident”When dispatch assigns you an incident, the map automatically centres on the destination, the route panel populates, and the briefing pane shows any pre-arrival risk data. You don’t need to type the address — it’s pushed directly from CAD.
On the way
Section titled “On the way”Turn-by-turn audio matches the route shown on the screen. The risk-data overlay updates as you approach: hydrants, vulnerable-persons flags, and structural notes appear on the map.
Status updates
Section titled “Status updates”Status buttons (en route / on scene / leaving scene) send updates back to CAD with a single tap. No verbal radio updates needed for status changes.
