About Routing Appropriate Resource
NEC xc uses a routing network to calculate the nearest resources to an incident, based on either speed (Quickest Route) or distance (Shortest Route). Previously, this included all resources, irrespective of their type and status. A new option now available is to define the resource types and statuses in a configuration file and use a new menu option called Route Appropriate Resource.
The resultant routes will be drawn as lines from the incident to the nearest appropriate resources. By default 5 lines are drawn, although this can also be changed in the configuration file. A summary of the resources chosen, the route colour and the travel details is shown below the map.
