I would argue that the OS giving each one a ref would help speed up the process of getting that information as the person dialing 999 may not be familiar with the area and cannot name the location. But they can read off a ref number.

The defibrillator is always taken to the patient. Meaning that the 
defibrillator reference location is not normally where the patient is.

With cell phones in common use location information should be much 
easier to obtain, Australia has an app 'Emergency' ... never used it 
myself but I have it installed.
