Overview: Search Map

The Search Map module provides a global, at-a-glance view of all available geospatial data—Layers, Targets, Reports, and RFIs—on a virtual globe.

The Search Map enables you to quickly understand the current scope of events and activities that took place recently across your organization’s area of interest without manually browsing through multiple modules.

By combining time-based filters, data-type toggles, and map perspectives, the Search Map gives empowers you to visualize and drill down into the granular information of events that matters most.

Key Features of Search Map​

  • At-a-glance visualization – View all data points (Layers, Targets, Reports, RFIs) on a single interactive globe.
  • Timeline filtering – Narrow your view by selecting recent activity (last 24/48/72 hours), specific years, or custom date ranges.
  • Data toggles – Control which categories of data appear on the map, including Targets (Location, Area of Interest), Reports (Imported, System), and RFIs (Critical → Lowest).
  • Map perspectives – Switch between Globe View and Perspective View depending on your analytic needs.
  • Interactive dialogs – Click a data point on the globe to open context-specific dialogs (Target or Selection) that provide details, coordinates, and links to related modules.

  • Get current situational awareness across your organization’s area of interest by viewing all relevant data on one screen.
