Question: Scenario 13: When navigating with an address and a map, what is the best practice if the street number you are looking for suddenly jumps (e.g., from 100 to 200, skipping 101-199)?

Answer options:

• Assume the map is outdated and unreliable ✅ It likely indicates a block with no structures, a change in numbering system, or a major cross street/divide
• Turn around immediately and check a different street
• Call dispatch to verify the address without checking further

Correct answer: It likely indicates a block with no structures, a change in numbering system, or a major cross street/divide

Explanation: Address jumps typically indicate a break in the block, such as a large park, a river, or a major arterial road that serves as a numbering divide. It's important to understand these conventions to avoid unnecessary detours. The correct answer is "It likely indicates a block with no structures, a change in numbering system, or a major cross street/divide".
