Reviewing a Road Patrol
To Review your patrol, you must be connected to your data server. Before proceeding, please ensure that you are connected to the internet or your network depending on your configuration. Contact your IT staff for assistance.
GMAF For Windows users should review a patrol using Burnside Mobile in a browser. Patrol Review is not reliable in the GMAF. When you are done your patrol, login to Burnside Mobile using your Browser, search for your patrol, and Accept it using the tools as outlined below.

Reviewing the Patrol
