Feedback

Mapping supports locating callers, displaying incidents, unit locations, and routing.

Layers can be discreet point features, linear features, or polygon boundaries.

DD, DMS, and DDM are common latitude/longitude formats.

GPS provides real-time location and routing; time travel is not possible.

Info tool retrieves feature attribution; geocoding matches addresses to locations.

Legends depict map symbols and colors.

Latitudes run horizontally parallel to the equator.

Longitudes are measured from the prime meridian in Greenwich.

Maps are snapshots and can become outdated as conditions change.

Lat/long provide precise geographic coordinates for locations.

Correct: Location of emergency is the key question for mapping.

Correct: layers group features like hydrants or streams.

Incorrect: The coordinate system defines locations; layering is separate, but viewing multiple layers together uses the map application with a coordinate system.

Correct: DMS splits minutes and seconds from degrees.

Correct: DD uses decimals for latitude/longitude.

Correct: The example shows decimal degree notation.

Correct: DMS breaks into degrees, minutes, seconds.

Correct: Info tool returns feature attributes.

Correct: Geocoding links addresses to map data.
