Containment Mode

Place a radius on the map and read every named intersection inside it. Two presses to drop a zone around you.

A containment call is a list of streets. Containment Mode puts that list on the map so you are not guessing which named intersections sit inside the perimeter.

How to place a zone

  1. Tap the containment button on the phone map
  2. Tap Around me, or tap the map where the radius should sit
  3. Step the radius up or down
  4. Confirm

The overlay labels named intersections inside the circle. Unnamed roads stay off the list. Default radius is three blocks (about 3/8 mile). You can take it from one block (1/8 mile) up to ten (1 1/4 mile).

After it is confirmed, Edit zone brings the radius back. Clearing the mode takes the overlay off.

Phone and web

The same tool is on PatrolNav for Web at map.patrolnav.com. Containment on the web map is part of the free desk map — no subscription required for that piece.

It does not replace radio or CAD. It is the named-intersection picture of a perimeter you already called.
