Users can access the tool by turning on the surveillance layer through the options menu.

MapQuest announced the new update in a social media post on Thursday.

TRENDING STORIES:

MapQuest did not provide specific details regarding the origin or sources of the surveillance data used.

News Center 7 previously reported that in May the City of Dayton indefinitely suspended the use of its Flock cameras.
