The location catalog is the backbone of the geospatial InfoEx system. This document give a general overview of the location catalog functionality of the InfoEx application.

Background

All observation entered into the InfoEx system need to be associated with a pre-defined location from your location catalog. For certain observation types, it is possible to also specify a more detailed location in the observation entry screen.

Loocations types

The InfoEx system currently supports the following location types:

  • Operation location
  • Forecast area
  • Operating zone
  • Permanent closure
  • Road
  • Rail
  • Route
  • Ski run
  • Avalanche path
  • Weather site
  • Shot placement

See Location types and symbology for a detailed description of supported location types and the symbols used to display them on the location catalog map.
