Emergency services
EMS agencies across the country are closing their doors, unable to afford to stay open so while navigation apps specific to fire and EMS exist, only the largest and best funded agencies can afford to use them, so most of us are forced to use apps like Waze or Google Maps to navigate during an emergency response. However roads best used in an ambulance or fire truck aren't the same as in your POV, you need to stick to main roads whenever possible, straight away's over curvy roads etc, and not a single app I have found for individual users addresses this. My greatest wish for Waze is that an emergency response mode is added - maybe you can also chose an ambulance, fire truck or police car as your vehicle icon but the main need is that there is an option in route planning for main road prioritization. A main road gives us more room to maneuver. And stop asssuminh agencies just pay for the paid services. Medicare reimburses $300 a call for my agency - and with how expensive the equipment is whether we need it on that particular call or not means we need way more than that to afford to keep the doors open let alone splurge on extras like area specific emergency navigation software. We go out of our way to ensure we get to someone as quickly and as safely as possible but we could do that much better if someone actually created something that helps us do that.
