TiPS Episode 26 0220 - The Location Drift Disaster
In TiPS Episode 26 0220, “The Location Drift Disaster: Why Your Map Slowly Lies,” Fletch digs into one of the sneakiest NG911 problems: geospatial drift. Not a dramatic outage, but the slow misalignment that shows up as extra transfers, boundary arguments, and “why did that route here?” moments.
We break down how “small, reasonable” GIS edits to boundaries, road centerlines, and addressing can quietly turn into operational pain, and why NG911 raises the stakes because GIS is no longer JUST a map. It's the ROUTING ENGINE. You'll also get practical ways to catch drift early using governance, validation, and a simple border-address test set.
If you have ever heard “that’s not our district,” this episode is for you.
