Other features and options include base map changes to display various topologies and printing functions. Please refer to "User Guide: IW Web Portal Reference Guide (Governance Map)".

Because the Texas DPS fragmentation map differs between service departments, the jurisdiction map will overlap. For example, there is no agreement with the jurisdiction of expressway patrols, Texas Rangers, and law enforcement authorities. More complicated is that the DPS management department has its own subdivision map. Even the nomenclature used to explain the jurisdiction is different - highway patrol uses the "region" identified by the digits, but the Texas Rangers uses the "company" identified by the letter .

One of the most important technological advances in improving law enforcement capacity is the use of crime mapping software. A criminal map is a computer software that enables an organization to track the type of crime occurring within the jurisdiction, the date of crime, the time of day, and the geographical location. As the crime mapping software becomes more complex and becomes increasingly important to agent operation, the department will need to hire highly trained professional criminals analysts. Criminal analysts sometimes called criminal information analysts are increasingly necessary resources for today's police agencies. Criminal analysts can gain insights on cyber crime maps and promote sharing of criminal information among institutions.

Each department has its own responsibility and its own terrain and requires a skilled criminal analyst who can optimize the map software to suit the needs of a particular jurisdictional area. Customized crime map software increases the ability of departments to allocate resources efficiently. For example, many departments can combine data from a computer-aided scheduling (CAD) system to provide a visiting supervisor with real-time crime mapping strategies.
