With its integrated system providing mapping, routing, image viewing, two-way messaging, and vehicle locating capabilities, GST Mapper® MDC equips your agency with first-hand information and unparalleled support.

The shortest route between the vehicle's current position and the incident location where the unit is responding to is highlighted on the map. The user may click a button to retrieve turn-by-turn directions of the route. The route is dynamically re-calculated in response to either a change of vehicle position or reassignment of incident when the dispatcher assigns the unit to a different incident. The system is fully automated without the need for field officers to click any button.

GST Mapper® displays the current position of the unit and centers the map at the position if so requested.

The system provides an option to display aerial photography as the background, or switch back and forth between aerial photo and other map layers.

Pictures, building floor plans, or any other scanned images of common image formats such as BMP, PNG, JPG, TIFF, and GIF, can be registered to map locations and displayed whenever the user clicks on the corresponding locations.
