Basic LRS: This is the default method of specifying locations and is always provided. With this type of referencing system, the system knows the location of assets in only one way, which is route and mile point.
Note Note: For the Basic LRS, alternate locations (aliases) may be specified for principal locations in the Concurrent Location window. - Alternates: In addition to the Basic LRS, some agencies use other ways to identify locations. This field includes these other methods. This allows you to choose the method of identifying a location that works best for your agency. A typical alternate LRS is street name and block number.
