Live Feeds

The Live Feeds page displays a list of all the integrated live feeds that are available across all maps in FireMapper. These overlays are designed to improve situation awareness.

There are over 50+ public live feeds that are automatically updated from external sources including Traffic Incidents Feeds, Fire Incident Feeds, Traffic/Weather Cameras, Roadworks, Road Closures, Satellite Detected Hotspots, Current Alerts and Warnings, File Stations and more.

The list of live feeds are configured per FireMapper subscription and can contain a combination of public and private data sources. Additional layers can be added on request.

Live Feed Status

The live feeds table is automatically updated every 5 seconds to displays the status of each live feed. If a feed has recently been updated in the last 60 seconds, it will be highlighted with a green background.

If the last update has failed for a specific live feed, it will be highlighted with a red background. The update can fail for a number of reasons such as an error while connecting to the remote server or changes to the feed format. FireMapper will continue to display the cached data from the last successful update when an error occurs. The error state will automatically be cleared on the first successful update after the failure. More information about the live feed error can be obtained by contacting support.

  2. Select the export format that you would like to use from GPX, KML or GeoJSON, based on the application that you want to export to.

    Use the KML export format if you want to display the live feed in Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro or FireMapper client. The KML format is the only format that includes map symbology and links for Photos/PDFs file attachments.
