Interactive mapping related to security refers to the ability to incorporate intelligent mapping interfaces, such as Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth, into a command and control architecture to provide accurate locations of security assets. Interactive mapping is especially effective for enterprise level solutions that incorporate multiple sites in different cities, states, or even countries. The visual representation provided by interactive mapping gives operators a quick reference of available security assets in a way that requires little memory, use of fine motor skills, or other intervention that may be harder to muster in the event of an emergency. As long as the interactive mapping interface is regularly updated, it will prove extremely useful during normal and emergency situations.
