Offline Buildings (Optional Feature)
The optional offline building feature lets you export a building outline and associated floor
plans from NEON Command to a mapping package (.maps file) stored locally on your PC.
This building data is not uploaded to the NEON Cloud. Instead, you can upload the mapping
package later to an Android device without using the Cloud Service.
The offline building data may also be shared with users registered under the same or a
different NEON subscription by making the mapping package available to them for import
into their NEON Command application.
Export a Mapping Package
This function is available only if your NEON subscription has the optional offline building
feature enabled through TRX Systems.
Offline buildings are deleted from NEON Command when you log out of your account. To
restore the building, import the mapping package.
Import a Mapping Package into NEON Command
If an outline and floor plans already exist for your building in the form of a .maps file to which
you have access, you can load this mapping package into NEON Command instead of creating
the building from scratch.
Unlike exporting, importing mapping packages does not require the offline building option to
be enabled. This makes it easier to share building data with users under another NEON
subscription where the feature is not available.
Upload a Mapping Package to Android Device
1.
Connect the Android device to your PC over USB.
2.
Open the external device in Windows Explorer and create a folder named “TRXMaps”
in the top level directory.
3.
Paste a copy of the mapping package (file extension .maps) into the TRXMaps folder.
4.
Open the Signal Mapper app on the Android device and the offline building will load.
An “Importing Maps” message may display briefly.
