Divide Large Coordinate Systems

To optimise Quuppa system performance for large-scale deployments, Quuppa has developed a feature for dividing large coordinate systems into smaller ones using the Quuppa Site Planner (QSP). These instructions will walk you through using this feature.

Note: The QSP will show an error message if a coverage estimate is run for a coordinate system that is too large to be rendered effectively.
  1. Open your project in the QSP.
  2. Create a new coordinate system by selecting Planning > Add Coordinate system from the menu bar at the top and give it a name when prompted.
    Note: You can use the same background image for multiple coordinate systems.
  3. Go to the original coordinate system using the object tree on the left to copy the tracking area. Select Tracking Area and then in the panel on the right, click the Clone to Coordinate System... button.

    In the window that opens, select the new coordinate system from the list.

  4. Go to the new coordinate system (again using the object tree) to edit the cloned tracking area. Select and delete the parts of the tracking area that you do not need for this coordinate system.
    Tip: You can use the rubber band feature to select larger areas. To do so, move your cursor onto the map view, click and hold the right mouse button and drag the cursor over the area that you want to select. Make sure that all of the items that you want to select are completely inside the rubber band.
  5. Return to the original coordinate system to copy the relevant Locators and zones to the new coordinate system. Select the Locators and zones in the desired area and click the Move to Coordinate System... button in the panel on the right. In the window that opens, select the new coordinate system.
    Important: This step is important to make sure that the Locators and zones are automatically associated with the right tracking area.
  6. Check that the Locators and zones transferred correctly to the new coordinate system before deleting them from the original coordinate system.
  7. Repeat this as many times as needed for your project.
