About this app

Ember Map is an operational mapping, navigation and situational-awareness app built for firefighters, emergency-service teams and field professionals.

From the fireground to the coordination desk, Ember Map helps teams build and share a common operational picture. View current incident information, work with specialist fire and mapping layers, record observations, track movement, capture geotagged photos, collaborate on shared maps and export your work for briefing, planning and handover.

• Import georeferenced PDF maps for local use.
• Add points, labels, lines, polygons and circles.
• Measure distance, perimeter, area and radius.
• Search and work with latitude/longitude, MGRS and grid references.
• Use compass navigation with live bearing and distance guidance.
• Open directions to incidents, map items and photos in supported navigation apps.
