Fully interactive, they can draw fire fronts over a map and other units can see it in real time. Prior to that though, they get around by GPS and mud maps" No more info than that, but if it's on an iPad, I'd assume it's using Apple Maps? & I believe Apple are starting to use OSM info? I know that when the fires were all happening, there were a lot of complaints that the publicly-accessible QFES maps were woeful, with regard to location & frequency of being updated, & they made the comment that they use a much better system themselves "but it would be too complicated for civilian viewers to understand"! :roll eyes: Thanks Graeme
