## CAD Permission Requirements

In order to appear on the live map, players must have a [linked Roblox account](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/getting-started#linking-your-roblox-account).

In order to access the live map, players must have the **Live Map** permission.

## Usage

### Accessing the Live Map

<details>

<summary>Accessing the Live Map</summary>

The live map can be found in the task bar by searching, or going to **Unit Management** > **Live Map**

Additionally, you can select the map pin icon on any unit, emergency call, or dispatch call that has a location from in-game to open the map and zoom to their location.

</details>

### Using the Live Map

#### 2D and 3D Mode

Change the map view from 2D, 2.5D, or 3D via the top right.

#### Unit Blips

Units will appear on the map if they have a [linked Roblox account](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/getting-started#linking-your-roblox-account) and are active on the CAD police, fire, EMS, or dispatch page.

Click on a unit to view their bodycam and access other options for dispatch calls, lookups, tone board, timers, etc.

#### Emergency Calls

When an [emergency call is made from in-game](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/emergency-calls) a blip will appear on the map. Select the blip to view the call and open it in your call editor.

#### Dispatch Calls

Dispatch calls created from an [in-game emergency call](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/emergency-calls) or an [in-game traffic stop](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/traffic-stops) will automatically have location data showing a blip on the map. Select the call blip to open it in the editor or close it.

<summary>For Roblox Developers</summary>

Maple County has recently added Sonoran CAD live map access to their Roblox game mode.\
To do the same for your game:

1. Send Unit Location API updates with the `coordinate` `x` and `y` values
2. Convert (if needed) your `coordinate` `x` and `y` values so that the top left of your map image is `{0,0}`
3. Export your square map to a single image and upload to the Sonoran CAD community in the admin panel under `In-Game Integration` > `Live Map` > Game as `Roblox` > Type as `Custom` > `Upload` > `Save`
