<br>
On the cell phone apps that use OSM I would like to seen an "Emergency" button ... for use in an emergency.<br>
<br>
It would bring up on the map the local emergency items;<br>
<br>
emergency phones,<br>
AEDs (Automatic Emergency Defibrillators - used for heart attack victims)<br>
Life belts/rings<br>
Hospitals with emergency facilities<br>
Doctors<br>
Pharmacies<br>
Fire extinguishers<br>
Police stations<br>
<br>
and anything else that could be of use in an emergency.<br>
<br>
By doing this these things can be left off the map ... until the button is pressed ... then they appear and other things can be suppressed. Press the emergency button again to revet to the normal view.<br>
<br>
It could provide a usefull feature that could save a life, and declutters the map when not required.<br>
Of course there are some exceptions ... Hospitals and Doctors for non emergencies for example.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts/comments?<br>
<br>
