Funny story. When we redid the 911 system and turned it into the
E-911 system, I (and a couple of other radio enthusiasts on the
rebuild committee) fought tooth and nail to get GPS incorporated into
the system. We even worked up a deal with Garmin who would provide
the GPS units at cost for all eleven departments to equip every
vehicle with a unit.

Coulnd't get that one past the local chiefs - they just coulnd't wrap
their collective brains around the concept of exact locations. :)

They put up reflective house numbers out at the street out here in the
sticks for the benefit of the cops and fire departments. You cannot
get a cab. They simply cannot find the place. Nobody has ever found
this place that hasn't been here before. I like it that way. My
address is not on my checks. My phone is under a fake name. As a
friend once said, ' it doesn't pay to advertise.'
