Hi Bernhard

The only documented type number  linked to an emergency is 0x3000 or possibly any number higher that 0x3010

Having said that, this type number may not be used any longer and most likely when indexed may produced unforeseen results.

i think it's the same if they get the names of the emergency access
point or if they get the coordinates from your gps device. As far as i
know, if there was a fire in the forest near by, thy also sent the geo
coords to the fire brigade or the ambulance

Hi Gerd,
the question is not so much where the next emergency access point is,
but its reference number (or name). So that I can tell them e.g.: "we
are in the forest halfway between WI-1234 and RÜD-9876". That's an
information they can make use of.
Regards,
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

no idea if there is a good POI type for this. I see no good use case
for this when you have a Garmin device with you which tells you your
position. Why would you want to know where the next
emergency_access_point is?

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] emergency_access_point

Hi all,

"highway=ergency_access_point" (see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Demergency_access_point ) seems not to be included in our style: only in case of a line (instead
of a point), there's an instruction: delete the highway tag.

But it is a useful feature. In case of an emergency, you'll be asked:
"where are you?" and then ... describing the place to the emergency
service can be complicated: "on a cycle way next to the Rhine river a
couple of kilometers south of the town of ..." is not exact enough.
Unfortunatly, no emergency access point sign was directly at that place.
Finding the name of a road leading to the place helped.

So I think it could be helpful to know the reference number of emergency
access points nearby.
What could be a good Garmin id, so that it is searchable?

Regards,
Bernhard
