Hi: - Maybe in your area that is true, but I work with it everyday so I do
have a little knowledge of what I am talking about. I especially know what
GIS systems are since it is a vital tool that is used by many colleagues in
my office.

Hello, Kim,
The first part of your message dealing with 911 is nonsense. 911 uses
street addresses, and if the caller cannot provide an address, the phone
number location can be traced using Caller ID. GIS is totally different.

Hi: - Latitudes and longitudes are used more often then you probably are
aware of and are quite critical in the daily use of your fire and law
enforcement officers. Many agencies depend on tracking things using GIS
systems (though GIS systems are not blind-friendly, it still is a critical
tool when trying to pinpoint an exact location. Most your #911 operations
depend highly on latitudes and longitudes especially when its in a urgent
situation when the person in dire need is unable to provide a address or
location. Latitudes and longitudes are often recorded when taking air,
water, and other geographic samples as well. It would also be critical to
record a latitude/longitude to identify locations of buried gas, electric,
water, etc., lines especially in a high construction area. Well, I could go
on but then its too much like work, and it's a holiday weekend in the US, so
the shop is closed "smile". All the best. - Kim

Hi!
What are some examples of how Latitude and Longitude are used in an every
day situation? I can see where an airplane pilot would use this but why is
this on our gps units? I am fascinated simply because I would like to come
on the geocaching trip in September to Maine and would like to know a little
more about how to apply this part of the gps because I have a feeling we
just might be given some clues using this branch of the gps. Thanks. Mary
