This feature is configurable so that a call-taker may be enabled to handle multiple text calls as well as voice calls at the same time.

Map Viewer displays calls using local ESRI GIS data

Map Viewer integration allows 9-1-1 calls and Text to display on the viewer prior to answer. This feature allows call-takers the ability to answer a call based on geographic location.  Locations will update and map as the call-taker rebids for better location accuracy.  Traditional ALI and RapidSOS location (when available) are displayed on the Map Viewer.  9-1-1 voice and text calls can be answered and released from the Map Viewer display.    The Map Viewer uses your local ESRI GIS data.
