From the field

Ambulance

Blue Light Maps has made a huge difference, giving us smoother journeys that aren't hit with speedbumps for miles, especially in London.

It's cut down our response times, and it looks so much better than Google too.

I've been saying for years that I'd make my millions designing a TomTom for ambulances. It's a great idea. I've always felt there's a market for it.

Been using this in a response car and have no complaints. Getting to incidents quicker using blue-light exemptions than I did with Google Maps.

Today we used a bus-only road that would normally be avoided, which got us there much faster.

Unlike TomTom's suggestion to detour around the traffic, we could clearly bypass it and saved a few minutes.

It's great to programme a route that takes our exemptions into account and doesn't put me on the motorway all the time. Another nice touch: the street view of the destination pops up automatically when you arrive.

I love the app. I'm trying to think how it could be used by as many units as possible.

A more efficient route, using our exemptions for a no-right-turn, saved three minutes.

I recently discovered this app and think it's great to have something that takes our exemptions into account.
