Abstract: A mapping system allows a user to interact with any location on a digital map and present the user with location related information associated with the selected location. The location related information may be in the form or a card, pop-up, image, or other graphic and may be displayed on the map at or near the selected location, around the map, etc. The displayed location related information may include predetermined or pre-stored data about the location or may include location related information collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction with the digital map. The displayed location related information may be displayed in the same graphical format on the digital map regardless of whether location related information is predetermined information about the location that already exists or information that is collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction.

Abstract: An alarm extension device includes a retainer configured to receive a personal paging device, a vibration sensor in operative association with the retainer, an auxiliary alarm generator, and a link between the vibration sensor and the auxiliary alarm generator. The link is sufficient to activate the auxiliary alarm generator when the vibration sensor identifies vibration from the retainer. An alarm system includes at least one wireless alarm transmitter. The transmitter is configured to receive a prompt by a hazard condition detector to send a paging code in a manner recognizable by multiple personal paging devices without requiring identification of individual personal paging devices. The transmitter is also configured to send the paging code addressing multiple personal paging devices collectively, without regard to such devices individually, and including a hazard condition alarm message.
