Scalebars & Grid on GIS map image

'Incident Commander Pro' provides unique GIS planning functionality, supports a wide range of map formats and includes a convenient library of mapping tools, to assist with planning the emergency-response mission.

These features include a library of customizable scalebars, grids and planning templates, designed to work with 'Incident Commander Pro's GIS map display, to assist with planning the response to land, sea or air incidents.

These planning templates are provided as customizable library of CAD file map layers, whose size, color, linestyle, font, scaling, rotation and location can be adjusted to meet the needs of the current or pre-plan mission.

Each of these planning templates can be downloaded from this webpage and added as map layers to 'Incident Commander Pro's GIS module.

Geo-locate the template on the map:
Included with each CAD template is a companion text 'worldfile' (eg 1mile_Scalebar.wld) that defines the template's lower left corner location, in UTM coordinates, for the map's designated UTM zone.
This location can be changed by entering the required UTM location in CAD_MapLocator.xls and pasting the result back into the text worldfile.
Then add the CAD template map layer to the GIS display.
