Search & Rescue GPS Software
Professionals that work in the search and rescue field often utilize mapping and resource tracking software in order to find a missing person. The software programs work well together, since they depend on each other to play their roles in conducting a successful search and rescue mission. The search and rescue GPS software that is widely used in the field is called "DMAPPER."

Purpose
-
DMAPPER is a GPS software program that automatically directs the incoming position data that is remotely sent from the search and rescue team. This data will then be posted into the mapping system to label areas that have been checked by the search and rescue team.
Process
-
DMAPPER is the translator between the mapping software and the incoming position data from the search and rescue site. In comparison to previous versions of GPS software, DMAPPER accomplishes this via radio GPS tracking technology, which is simple and effective. This lets digital data go back and forth at a fast, accurate rate.

Key Benefits
-
The DMAPPER has some beneficial key indicators that help it do its job. For instance, one can track several search and rescue crew members at the same time by entering their locations on the GPS maps via attached locating devices. Another benefit is the safety alerts that occur when search and rescue units are missing or no longer able to transmit their locations.
