Basic SAR Icons for ICP, IPP, LKP, PLS, RP and UAS Launch Point

dan.dawson

SARTopo built a great set of ICS/Fire, USAR, and Recreational icons, but they they didn't really add much in the way of SAR specific icons (ICP, IPP, LKP, PLS, RP, UAS Launch Point, etc.) so I went ahead and created a set to share.

The icons are available along with instructions here: https://gitlab.com/DanDawson/sartopo-custom-markers

If you have any other icons you would like added to a set like this, feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do. As you'll see in the instructions on the link above, you can choose if you want them to be colorable or if you want them to remain black and white only.

    These are cool! Thanks for making them. 

    ICP is already included under ICS/Fire in CalTopo. UAS Launch and Recovery Point was added in 2024 to the NWCG PMS 936 Symbology Point List. I hope CalTopo, which appears to be pulling most of their symbology from NWCG, can include this symbol so I don't have to use the custom one I made from NWCG.  We've been using Fire Origin (X marks the Spot) for the IPP/PLS of our missions since it conveys the same intent (start point of the incident.)

    There is already a function in Caltopo to create two letter icons. extending the function to three letters for all the acronyms we use would be much, much better. 

     

    ICP, FCV, ICV, LKP, PLS etc

    Thanks Charlie, I did get word from CalTopo that they do plan to implement three letters instead of two at some point in the future.
