Nearest cross street
Know your nearest cross street the second you look.
Street numbers vanish in the dark, on foot, and out in the county. The nearest intersection does not. LOC8 finds your closest cross street automatically, so you can call in a position dispatch can actually route to.
Why the cross street is the position that counts
When you key up, the fastest way to send a unit to you is the nearest intersection. A house number is precise, but only if someone can read it. At 2 a.m., mid foot pursuit, or behind a strip mall with no posted address, the number is the one thing you cannot get. The cross street is always there.
Dispatch thinks in intersections too. Beats, sectors, and the closest available unit all map back to street A at street B. Give them that and backup is moving before you finish the sentence. Give them a half-remembered block number and you have started a guessing game on the worst possible call.
Where street numbers fail you
- On foot, where you have left the address behind and the next building is dark
- In the county, on a frontage road or a stretch of highway with no markers
- Behind a property, in a lot, an alley, or a field with no posted number
- At night, when the number you need is unlit and forty feet away

Cross street, answered
What is a cross street?
It is the nearest intersecting road to your position, the "street A at street B" you give dispatch. LOC8 finds the closest one automatically so you never have to guess.
How does LOC8 know my nearest cross street?
It reads your live GPS position and resolves the closest intersection to it, then shows the two street names in plain text under your address. No typing, no map search.
Does the cross street work with no signal?
Your coordinates and compass work fully offline. Street names, including the cross street, resolve when the phone reconnects, so you still have a position to read out in a dead zone.
Can I see the cross street on Apple Watch?
Yes. The full readout, cross street included, is on your wrist, so you can call in a position without reaching for your phone.
