Would this work with any lats and longs? At our PSAP the cell phone
companies are listing lats and longs for location of the caller. Right
now all we get is the location of the tower which does no good at all.
So far two cell phone companies have completed this and we are waiting
for the rest to finish. My boss has been looking at software where we
can enter the lats and longs and get an address or even a basic location
within about 50 yards or less of the caller. Are you doing this for
work, a company, or just doing it because you can? I have been trying
to get the fire department here to go over to Linux based CAD and get
away from Winblows for all the obvious reasons. This might just get
them started. Please let me know, Maureen
