We however just received MDC (Mobile Data Computers) that has our counties entire dispatch software & includes navigation features. However our Engineers (the guys who drive/pump/operate the trucks/engines) have to know the area. The only time we need to consult maps or navigation systems is when we are on a mutual aid call that's well out of our district (4th alarm and onward). However, 4+ alarm fires are rare. ]]>May 4th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/ambulance-drivers-told-to-use-old-fashioned-maps-again/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/ambulance-drivers-told-to-use-old-fashioned-maps-again/Feb 7th 2010 6:16AM
