The CompassCom feed in ArcGIS Velocity connects to CompassCom to ingest real-time location data for live tracking and analysis. It supports defense, federal, and public safety agencies in maintaining operational awareness of vehicles, personnel, and field assets from any device, anywhere.
Examples
The following are example use cases for the feed:
- A public safety agency uses the CompassCom feed to track the live locations of emergency response vehicles and field personnel during an active incident.
- A defense agency uses the CompassCom feed to monitor the movement of assets and personnel across large operational areas.
Usage notes
Note the following when working with the feed:
- Velocity automatically handles the data schema. Adding new fields is not supported because the schema is predetermined based on the data provided by CompassCom. You have the option to not include and rename existing fields.
- CompassCom automatically provides the Geometry field value.
- Velocity automatically handles the key field parameters for Date and time and Tracking sections. The Start time parameter, in the Date and time section, defaults to gps_time, and the Track ID parameter in the Tracking section, defaults to unit_id.
