Map Assets GPS

[Tug]

Is there a software that you can manually put people and assigned assets in various locations in sore sort of an overlay on a map?

Sort of like AIS, but on land?

I'd like to get a map of southeastern New England and be able to place where certain crews and their assigned trucks are and what their mission is.

Anyone know if there is a feature on Google Earth or Google Maps where you can do this?

This would most likely have to be manually manipulated because I'm not sure if our trucks have locating devices on board, but I'll take whatever I can jerry-rig.

Yes, there is! I can walk you through Google Earth overlays, and how to export them to Google Maps and other software.

I just did this for a FINEX last week and the week prior.

. . . all over this.

I can post screenshots for ya, if I can post pictures in this thread.

Hahaha, that is so sick.

I've been very vocal about wishing such a thing existed to track our peeps. If you can help me, I'll pitch this and maybe they'll give me a huge flat screen to display it!

Maybe a mod can manipulate this thread to make it photo-friendly? If not, please feel free to move it to Photo Safari!

Thanks, Trips!

I did do a quick Photo Safari thread here.

Let me know if you get stuck--it's quick and dirty, but gives you the basics.

Do you need to do daily overlay updates?

Crews are pretty fluid through the day. There are up to 6 crews of three per day. They can move several times as they work on their stories.

I think this will help you then. If they give you lat/longitude, a street address, or some sort of location, you can search by any of them. I think this'll help you.
