Integrated GPS and AVL Systems The Toughbook’s optional, integrated Global Positioning Satellite system (GPS) and Automatic Vehicle Locating (AVL) system are invaluable emergency response tools for firefighters and EMS personnel. With GPS, you can quickly and easily access maps, street locations and driving directions to locate fire or accident scenes without leaving your vehicle or relying on outdated printed maps. Using the AVL system, dispatchers can track the location of emergency personnel. By knowing the exact location of other emergency professionals, and their specific skills, you can accurately send the correct team to quickly handle crisis situations. |
