Complete the rest of the Emergency Kit Information Form – including details such as if you are the owner, if it is publicly accessible, and upload a photo - by selecting yes, the option to add an image will appear.

When you upload a photo of the Water Rescue Equipment, it will automatically plot your location; you can manual
ly move the pin to make it more accurate.

The location of the water rescue equipment will then be added to the map. 

Do not worry if the location of your water rescue equipment doesn't appear; RLSS UK or GoodSAM may need to verify the location. 

Plot more water rescue equipment!
