And then I'm a pinpoint, by the way, where that's a bigger thing.
0:54:47
Where I still can't put an address in.
0:54:50
I have a lot of railroads, highways, there's no address, there's no residential.
0:54:55
And when I try to pinpoint where I am.
0:54:57
I have to make up and address and try to figure it out where where exactly it is.
0:55:02
That needs to be corrected.
0:55:03
I know you corrected it slightly.
0:55:05
It it works in certain areas, but it doesn't work in city hall, by the way.
0:55:09
I can't get the address where I'm sitting right now.
0:55:12
Why not?
0:55:15
Why can't I get it?
Joe Morrisroe
0:55:16
Yeah.
0:55:17
So I can answer that question and you had several others.
Robert Holden
0:55:20
I know.
0:55:21
I had questions.
0:55:21
But you answered them.
Joe Morrisroe
0:55:22
So right now, we need to upgrade the mapping capability, and it's something that is being pursued so that you can do equivalent of a pin drop.
Robert Holden
0:55:32
How far are we along?
0:55:34
Because I got this 2 years ago when I hit came up with local law 66.
Joe Morrisroe
0:55:38
I'm not familiar offhand with LOCALO 66, but it is Well,
Robert Holden
0:55:41
it was a law of 2021 when she it mandates you guys to do some research on pinpointing location map locations.
Joe Morrisroe
0:55:48
What I can share is I know it is something that is being pursued and being pursued funding and then once funding is available to be able to build that out.
0:55:57
I don't have a specific time.
0:55:58
You don't
Robert Holden
0:55:59
have a specific time.
0:55:59
You get back to us on where you are with this and I
Joe Morrisroe
0:56:02
can check with my
Robert Holden
0:56:02
I know there's been some improvement.
0:56:05
I'd I'd notice a difference in a new the
Joe Morrisroe
0:56:07
Since March.
0:56:08
Since March?
Robert Holden
0:56:09
It's better.
0:56:10
Mhmm.
0:56:11
Not still not working on many of my streets and many and especially here.
0:56:15
It doesn't recognize city hall.
0:56:16
Right.
0:56:17
Yeah.
0:56:17
Which is We're being pursued.
0:56:19
Okay.
0:56:19
Alright.
0:56:19
Sorry.
