5.13 Coordinated Area Configuration
The Coordinated Area editor is used to enter coordinated area data that are shared in all regions.
The format illustrated below is similar to SB editing. The CA entry has three flag sets, identifier,
transmit enable/disable and shoreline override.
Coordinated Area ID: a unique non-zero integral number.
Transmit Flag: '1' allow transmit, '0' – block transmit
Shoreline Override: Kilometers decimal value
5.14 Importing Polygon Coordinates from KML Files
Like the previously mentioned service bounds, coordinated area polygon(s) created in the
Google Earth application can be imported into the Coordinated Areas Editor using the "Import
KML" command located under the File menu in the text editor. This command imports polygons
from a KML file (keyhole markup language) generated by Google Earth.
Note that Google Earth generated polygons will close the polygon by ensuring that the first and
last coordinate are identical. ROSS does not require closed polygon coordinates set. ROSS uses
that the first and last point in the coordinated set to close the polygon. Therefore, the last
coordinate can be removed if it is identical to the first coordinate.
5.15 Coordinated Area ID
When importing a polygon coordinates from a KML file into the coordinated areas editor, the
coordinated area ID is randomly generated while the remaining values are defaulted to Transmit
flag enabled (1) and shoreline override (0). It is highly recommended that the coordinated area
ID value be changed to match the sequence, or format, of the existing IDs. This ID will be
displayed in the ROSS console Status page's Position field if the position is inside the
matching coordinated area. Coordinated area IDs can be any non-zero integral number.
