Re: Turn Left

Where I am working now, we have MDTs that have GPS to help us out... in theory anyways. We run into the same problem and have learned not to rely on our technology because the green dot on the screen is often wrong by a little and sometimes a lot. What helps us is the use of cross streets to narrow the area down.
I hope people understand why it might take a bit longer to find their house at times, especially at night with poor signing. Bye the way, do you guys over there get many reports that are at times a mile or more from the given location? We have that problem on our interstates and highways with "drive by 911ers" as we call them. Quick story, I was dispatched to a possible stroke where the report was second hand. The caller gave a normal ETA to the town we were stationed and said they could see a grade percentage sign. The dispatcher's best guess put the call in our area but in fact the patient was about an hour south of our area. The patient was found by a State Trooper, I have wondered how they turned up since.
