GPS in cities can be hit and miss. Also means more expensive/new devices. Lat/long would give you a good idea of the 3-9 most likely roads involved, but it won't necessarily prove which road exactly... so humans would still need to review the entered road to lat/long and find the right road to plug in. Alternatively, and perhaps this is what you were thinking... GPS-assisted drop downs (or scroll-able list of selections) might provide an easier user interface... Cop hits the "street" button, and the GPS provides a selection of the most likely suspects. It won't be perfect, since a manual entry field should still be provided, but it probably would stop fat-fingering. But we're solving a problem to make data analytics and the lives of cops easier... The city wont make money, it'll probably cost them hundreds of thousands (or millions). So the incentive is very small. You or I, as lovers of accurate data, might like this. In court, however, a judge or lawyer will see "Lke Shore", see the cop meant "Lake Shore", and the conflict is resolved in milliseconds.
