Overview

BlackBerry® AtHoc® provides two types of maps; the publisher map and the live map. The publisher map is the map that appears when creating alerts or events. Use the publisher map to target users in a defined location and to define and communicate the affected area for an alert or event. Use the live map to view live alerts and events, incoming alerts, users, and external feeds. You can select an imported shape or draw a shape on the live map and send a quick alert to users in the shape.

For more information about the publisher map, see "Manage the publisher map" in the
