Attach media to objects on the map

The BlackBerry AtHoc system allows you to attach media, such as images or video to the shapes and pins on the map so that you can share the media when sending alerts to your team. If you are the creator of an object, you can attach media when the object is first created or at any time in the future. If you are not the object creator, you can add media as long as you have the required permissions to view and modify the object.
