| I think these guys are taking off. I remember going to the site in January and they only had like 10 PDs signed up. Now it looks like they have 200 (or something like that). That's a pretty solid growth rate and if Alan3 is right the price is cheap! | ||

| Its success is up to the local police agencies signing up, and at $99 a month and the ability for the service to automatically pull incident info directly from the agencies RMS server. I think more will come on. The price and time to manually extract information and map in a GIS application and all that gets you is a static PDF is far more. Its well worth it. | ||

| Sorry, my test entries show this service is not ready for prime time! Great idea, but the data is not there now and may never be - site is too dependent on need for inpuit, which it may not get from reporting agencies!Final conclusion: Thumbs down \ Please prove me wrong! | ||
