A system for associating information with a map feature including a computer having a display, a memory containing geographic data, and a user interface. Application software is provided for accessing user-selected geographic data to produce a map on the display. The software includes a selection tool for associating information with a selected map feature for later access by activating an indicium created in association with the feature. The system may be included in a dispatch system having mobile units in communication with a base unit for receiving a communication from a geographic location, and transmitting a message describing the location to a mobile unit. The mobile unit receives the message and executes the application software to generate a map on a display with an indicium representing the location, thereby providing visual directions to the location.
