Look for humanCoordinators and participants
An approved user creates a named search with a description. The creator coordinates it; other approved users join by code or link with read-only access. The coordinator can grant co-coordination. This is not a public map of all app users. Sector and team changes appear for participants without manually reloading.
Sectors and team assignments
Draw polygons, edit vertices and set name, colour and status. The map reports area in hectares. Foot, dog, drone, quad and other teams can have headcount, call sign and a sector assignment. The first assigned team’s entry can prompt an In progress suggestion; a coordinator confirms it. Distance walked inside a sector does not prove complete search coverage.
A phone as a tracker
The coordinator opens Connect phone and provides the server URL and the team’s secret identifier. Set them in Traccar Client, allow precise location at all times, remove battery restrictions and start tracking. Confirm position and report time on the map. Configuration-code handling depends on the phone and must be tested. Browser GPS sharing is available without installation but requires an open page and an awake screen.
Tracks, imports and closure
The map shows latest position, track, report age and available battery information, warning when a position is over two minutes old. Import timestamped GPX/KML tracks and KML/GeoJSON sectors, and export a whole search as KML or GeoJSON. Closing stops new GPS ingestion. Closed-search positions are removed after 30 days by a daily task; the coordinator can delete the whole search earlier.
