Viewing different map layers

Select Target locations to display the target locations which you have added to the selected case. All the target locations listed on the Locations of interest screen (Case management), which have longitude and latitude information entered are displayed. Each type of target location is displayed using a different default icon or alternatively you can customize the icons using Marker icon, Marker label and Icons on the Locations of interest screen (Case management). For example, the default icons are;

Select Target locations buffer to display the selected target location buffers. All the target locations which have a location buffer set can now be displayed on the map. To display them you must select the target location's location buffer on the Target locations tab.

Select Target location drawing to display any lines, arrows or polygons that have been saved as a target location.

Select Sectors to display the sectors that have been identified as being used by one of the sources in Sources. For example;

Select Operator networks to display all the cell sites for the named operator. This operator appears on the overlays list because a phone that uses that operator is selected in Sources. Neighboring networks may also be displayed on the map if the phone was used near the neighboring network. Each operator identified has its own layer that you can select to show or hide, for example "ATT network". The cell sites are displayed as colored circles. The color of the circles for each operator can be different if your administrator has configured them with different colors. For example;

Select Operator network labels to display all the cell sites names for the named operator label. This operator label appears on the overlays list because a phone that uses that operator is selected in Sources. Neighboring network labels may also be displayed on the map if the phone was used near the neighboring network. Each operator identified has its own layer that you can select to show or hide, for example "ATT network labels". The cell site name is positioned alongside the colored circle of the cell site. For example;

Select Tower reference to display a tower reference on the map which allows you to cross reference the geographic location of calls with the time of calls. Each tower location is given a reference number. A tower location is defined by its latitude and longitude, therefore each sector in the tower has the same tower reference number. This tower reference number is also displayed in the CDR data and Sector data tabs irrespective of whether you have selected to display the tower reference on the map.

Click on the tower reference number to open a pop-up which provides by default the tower's cell IDs, the number of calls that used the tower, the date and the local time of the calls. The color of the pop-up's header represents the color of the operator. The phone number is also displayed if more than one is selected in Sources. You can change the way the information is displayed by hovering over ... at the top of the pop-up then using . These icons allow you to display the information as: the default, a summary by day for each phone number, or by a total summary for each phone number.

You can also include additional details in this pop-up and change the way the information is displayed using theTower display options on the Display tab of the Advanced options dialog box.

Select Drawings to display any polygons, lines and arrows that have been created for the case. Polygons are used to select your drive area and can be saved as target location areas. Polygons, arrows and lines are used to highlight areas on the map which you may then want to analyze further and include in advanced analysis reports. For further information refer to Selecting your drive area and Using map views in advanced analysis reports.

Select Events to display the events from the phone data files you uploaded as historical files when you first created the case, or which you subsequently uploaded using the Manage files screen.

The events are displayed using a star, the color of which is defined by the Color selector.

Click on the event marker to open a dialog box which provides the local date and time of the event, and the details that are displayed on the Timeline tab's Event and Subtype columns. The phone number is also displayed if more than one is selected in Sources. Each event is given a reference number which allows you to correlate between the event marker and the dialog box which can be moved away from the event marker.
