Search and Rescue
Search and rescue teams use TOPO! Pro to create maps and search plans for remote areas so that if an event occurs, the maps and plans are ready to go. This pre-planning using TOPO! maps and tools can save valuable time, and get the teams in the field more quickly—and with better tools to conduct the search. Search and rescue teams can use TOPO! Pro to:
• Quickly and accurately record search boundaries;
• Utilize instant mapping tools, with or without real time GPS, by air or on the ground;
• Seamless 1:100,000- and 1:24,000-scale USGS maps save time by eliminating the “cutting” and “collaring” that you have to do when using quads from the USGS. The seamless data also makes it easy to zoom and pan across wide areas, and to create presentation-quality prints centered where you want them;
• Create and use your own symbology, icons, and line styles to represent incident status e.g. areas which have been searched, staging areas, evacuation routes, landing strips, and much more;
• Calculate exact Area for any search polygon – and select one or more polygons for Area Analysis;
• Use desktop or mobile computers to manage content and display the maps with such features as shaded relief, video attachments, photo attachments, plus documents and comments;
• Generate elevation profiles for quick terrain perspective;
• Attach Photos, Notes, Digital Video and Web links to any location on the map, and share with other TOPO! Pro users;
• “Search for Nearest” enables you to locate essential services and get distance and bearing for landing strips, water resources, hospitals and more;
• Easily incorporate your maps into reports or documents;
• Record and save information with Date and Time stamping for post-incident review;
• Seamless 1:100,000 and 1:24,000 topographical maps available for all 50 states.
