Fleet Chat¶
Bristol Maps includes a built-in chat system for communicating with your fleet group members. Stay connected across the bay when radio isn’t enough.
Accessing Chat¶
- Go to the Tools tab
- Select your group
- Open the Chat option
Alternatively, access chat from the group management page.
Sending Messages¶
Type your message in the text field and tap send. Messages are delivered in real-time to all members of the group.
To send a photo or video, tap the paperclip next to the text field and choose Take Photo, Take Video, Photo Library or Video Library. Attachments upload in the background, so you can keep using the app while a large video sends. Tap any attachment in the conversation to open it full screen.
