  that identified the closest mile marker post to
  the incident

  locations and mile marker IDs to help identify
  where incidents had occurred

  and providing mapping and location based search
  capabilities

  box with their enterprise mapping systems and
  Oracle databases.
• Incidents can be pushed out and displayed in a
  map-based navigation system. Officers can pull up
  additional information such as closest medical
  center, emergency response center, etc.
