This feature lets you view and interact with a map based on a proprietary map server. The map is shared between the website and the mobile application and offers real-time information on a variety of points of interest, including rescue agency locations, hydrants, defibrillators (AEDs), and other relevant data. This documentation will guide you through the different features and operations available on the map.
