HUGE geo tag update

[kma371]

Sorry for all the GREEN updates guys/gals (is there any gals here?).

Anyway, I updated geotags to about 95% of all counties and cities in the state on each counties main page.

i didn't mess with any of the trunked systems....yet.

There are a few, especially in the area's i wasn't familiar with (like Los Angeles county and other counties down south) that are still missing, so I did what I could.

It's amazing how much wasn't done and how much was wrong (with the counties, not nesscessarily the cities).

Enjoy.

I wondered why the state was all green!

Nice job, thanks! Apparently according to some submissions we've gotten the Uniden HP-1 doesn't list frequencies tagged as "other," so that's another thing to keep an eye out for. I just did a recent geotag overhaul of the San Diego RCS, so don't worry about that one. I bet LA_Flyer could help us with the other southern CA cities.

So, me being such a noob to the larger radio systems with trunking and digital, etc (my county is still all conventional and my "standard" scanners get me by fine - what does the geotagging do (I assume interface lat/lon with frequencies and signal strengths to create some sort of coverage map?)

What can be done with the info? Hows it obtained?

For location based scanners like 996/396/HP1, locations are activated when in range of the geotag.

The locations and radius info is in the DB and can be used in the programming.
