Reverse Geocode
The reverse geocode icon selects a point on the map
and then obtain the address for that point. Click on a
location on an active map and then click on the Reverse
Geocode icon. The system will display an estimated
address for that point. If you draw a box on the active
map and click on this icon, it will provide an address
for the closest point in the upper left corner.
Create/Edit Zone
The create/edit zone icon sets the center and radius of a
zone on the map. While you are on an active map that
you wish to create a new zone, click on the Create/Edit
Zone icon. This will place a small blue ball onto the
middle of your map. Drag the blue ball to create the
circumference of the zone. Move the center green ball
to the location of the zone (it does not have to be
exactly in the center of the map).
Playback Tracks
The playback tracks icon displays the movement from
one track point to the next from the earliest point on
map. From an active map that contains offender tracks
(can include multiple offenders), click on the Playback
Tracks icon. This regenerates the map and adds a new
tool bar at the top of the map. Move through the
offender tracks by using the VCR-like buttons for
playing, stepping through, stepping back and pausing.
In addition,
the bar can be dragged to control the movement of the
tracks. When tracking a single offender, the playback
symbol is a green dot with a blue trail depicting the
previous five track points. If your offender’s tracks
move off of the current map, the map will
automatically pan and resume playback once it
refreshes.
Print Map
The print map icon opens a new window containing the
map with a legend of the Offender Tracks that can be
printed by the user.
Re-center Map
The re-center map icon selects a point or area on the
map by clicking the spot with your mouse or drawing a
box around the area and clicking on the re-center map
icon to re-center the map to that point or area.
USGS Imagery
As a demonstration of the power of aerial photography
to orient the user to the relative map scale and provide a
source of ground truth, we have under-laid USGS
imagery beneath the VeriTracks™ maps. Toggle
between the map and the imager by clicking the camera
button that has been added at the bottom of the map
navigation tools.
