Hi,
Like some others on this forum, my unit is trying to employ the assistance of GIS to map out the general ward membership for the ward emergency response plan.
However, we've found that plotting a household by address is not accurate in rural areas. In fact, a lot of the time the GIS doesn't even find the road. We have therefore started plotting the households by lat, long using Decimal Degree (DD) format. This provides a very accurate placement of household markers and it is compatible with several GISs.
We'd like to maintain the household DD entries in MLS but there's no logical place to put them; perhaps a "Household Geocode" field would be most appropriate. In the meantime, are there any other suggestions on how the DD entries can be stored without maintaining any membership data outside of MLS?
Thanks
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
