Maybe dispatch protocols nowadays should say - 1. Obtain address of incident
2. Check address in Google Maps 3. Confirm that address actually exists, and obtain cross streets ------------------------- I just checked some addresses that I am familiar with - 700 Mass Ave Arlington Mass - shows on map at correct location with correct name (Robbins Library) 990 Mass Ave Arlington Mass - shows on map at correct location (does not show name - Kenwood Condos) 1395 Mass Ave Arlington Mass - shows on map at correct location with correct name (Sunrise Assisted Living) 1311 Mass Ave Arlington Mass - shows as 1309 Mass Ave - listed as Vet and as Nail Salon - that might not be absolutely correct - unless the nail salon is one flight up above the vet shop 1319 Mass Ave Arlington Mass - shows as 1319 Mass Ave in Lexington Mass (which is 1 mile away in a different town) - ??????????? - apparently there is no 1319 Mass Ave in Arlington Mass Google Maps might not work as well for residential locations as it does for business or government locations Perhaps Google Search might work better for residential locations - especially if real estate listings are available for every residential location via (?Zelia?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
