MMA Data/Perimeters?
-
Watching the "Twin Forks" fire here in Jeffco develop, and just had an MMA flight complete a mapping of the incident. The online portal shows photos and perimeter (at this moment) but TAK shows nothing. I have CO Wildland Data feeds turned on. Does MMA data arrive via a different channel?

The MMA Perimeters, as well as Fireguard detections, and the NIFS official perimeters all are integrated with COTAK as data sync feeds. For ATAK if you follow these instructions you'll be able to subscribe and view the feeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQ-JrTjaFM and the same instructions for iTAK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJOL8OEie2g
One of the strange behaviors in ATAK is that if we transmitted the polygon out using core ATAK, we would be unable to have the polygon to 'stale' and disappear from the map when it was no longer relevant. Instead the polygon would stay on the map forever until a user manually deleted it. Maybe someday we will be able to get the developers to change that behavior, but for now data sync is the best option for us, as it allows us to 'tell' your device to remove the polygon after 48 hours. Hope that helps, I remember you were having some issues with Data Sync in the past Chris, feel free to follow up here on that if needed!
