By: GeoConex Corporation Randy Holt, Grainger County ECD Director, comments. "In March of 2004 Grainger County ECD went live with enhanced Phase II 911. The base mapping and mapping equipment was from GeoConex®. Since then we have used the map to add important locations on the map for fast easy access for our Dispatchers. We have plotted locations such as highway mile markers, homes of Sex Offenders and Helicopter landing zones with GPS. We use the Latitude and Longitude function in the map for all medical, rescue and law enforcement helicopters flying into Grainger County for a much faster response. In 2005 GeoConex® add 6" resolution imagery provided by Image America to their mapping solution . This improved all the obvious aspects of the map such as accuracies of the map and more precise dispatching. It also has cut our driving almost completely out to assign new addresses. We went further by overlaying digital floor plans to scale directly onto each and every school with in the county. Now on the base map all school floor plans are visible with room numbers rather than a dot or circle so dispatchers can direct emergency responders into and within the school. The GeoConex® map has and continues to be the most valuable tool Grainger County ECD has for our dispatch center. Our philosophy is if we can't find you we can't help you and GeoConex® has made that part easier and faster. In June 2008 we replaced our existing CAD vendor with GeoConex® for a total integration of CAD and Map. GeoConex® For more information...
