Updating Beacon Coordinates Upload

You can add and update beacon co-ordinates once your beacons have been uploaded to NowForce. Each beacon must have its full latitude and longitude coordinates included for the NowForce system to correctly locate and dispatch Users.

You add the coordinates manually in the Beacons settings.

To add beacon coordinates manually after beacon list is uploaded

  1. In Settings > Geography > Indoors select your building from the table.
  2. Click to open the beacons table.
  3. Hover over the beacon that you want to edit and click Edit Beacon.

  4. Open the NowForce Map to display your building's POI.

    Use two screens to easily toggle between the Beacon Settings and the Map module.

  5. In the Map, select a floor to display of your building's floorplan.
  6. Select the Drop Pin tool to create the location for the beacon on that floor of the Map.
  7. Click on the pin to display the coordinates.

    8. It’s recommended to register the coordinates up to the 6th decimal point for highest accuracy (I.e. 40.894377, -73.883581).

  8. Copy the coordinates into their respective fields in the beacon settings' Location tab.
  9. Click Save.
