Custom overlays (explained)

You can add the following types of files as custom overlays on a smart map in XProtect Smart Client:

Shapefile - can contain geo-spatial vector data, such as points, lines, polygons, and attributes that represent objects on a map, such as walls, roads, or geographical features like rivers or lakes. For example, city planning and administration offices often use shapefiles because they scale well when you zoom in and out, and their file size is often smaller than CAD drawings or bitmap images.
CAD - a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing is useful as an overlay because, like shapefiles, CAD data can use a coordinate system and spatial reference to provide accurate geographical context. For example, you can use a detailed ariel map or a road map of a location.
Image - if you have an image file, such as the floor plan of a building, you can add it as an overlay on the smart map. You can use the following types of image files: PNG, BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PHG, TIF, and TIFF.
