Over the past 10 years, Lynx Technologies has developed particular expertise in mapping for the fire/emergency service industry. To date we have developed products for over 9 cities, counties, and special districts in 10 counties throughout the United States. We have developed a low-cost, straightforward approach to intelligent mapping for fire service managers and emergency command officers. MapLynx for Sunpro, and MapLynx for Firehouse was developed specifically for the fire service to integrate AutoCAD based maps and ArcInfo coverages with fire incident, occupancy, and hydrant maintenance databases.

Geographic Information System Implementation has been a growing segment of Lynx Technologies business since 1992. Lynx Technologies has helped City planning and public works departments begin the process of building intelligent parcel and network systems using ESRI's ArcCAD and ArcView platforms, and Autodesk's AutoCAD Map. We have specialized staff who's focus is specifically GIS services including building polygon and network coverages, topological checking, and applicaiton development in Avenue. We have developed a complete public noticing application for planners using Microsoft Word, and other planning tools. We have also helped many city public works departments link their infrastructure to facilities databases using several different approaches. Thes approaches have varied in complexity depending upon system requirements. They have covered different applications such as: 1) road inventory and pavement condition, 2) water, sewer, and storm drain inventories, and 3) hydraulic and hydrologic modeling.
