System and methods for configuring dynamic graphical user interfaces

A system for displaying data comprising:

• a mapping configuration database configured to:
• receive computer aided dispatch (CAD) and geographic information systems (GIS) data from at least one user system;
• store mapping configuration information;
• and
• receive mapping configuration information from a mapping configuration tool;
• and
• a publishing tool configured to:
• receive the CAD and GIS data from the mapping configuration database;
• publish information from the mapping configuration database as a data table;
• and
• provide instructions to display the CAD data and the GIS data on a GIS map via a mapping application tool, the CAD data and the GIS data being displayed with a plurality of dynamic icons with selected data for at least one of incidents, vehicles, or units, each dynamic icon includes a dynamic directional arrow pointing to a specific coordinate on the GIS map and at least one of a resource icon, an agency icon, and a status ring, wherein the dynamic icons are displayed within a specified geographic area, wherein the mapping configuration tool accesses the stored CAD data and the stored GIS data from the mapping configuration database, and, in response to a user input received via the mapping configuration tool, alters the CAD data and the GIS data, and adjusts the GIS map behavior by customizing one or more of the GIS map's appearance, settings, or layers.
