Step 1
Put the address of Staging or the general Fire location in the Search Bar.

Use the drop down menu. This can be accessed by pressing your icon pic on the right side of the Search Bar or the 3 horizontal lines on the left side, depending on the version you are using.
- Select Offline maps
- SELECT YOUR OWN MAP
- Adjust the map to capture where you think the Fire will be
- Repeat the process if you need a additional areas saved
Step 3
Use the drop down menu again.
