Currently most of our ambulances have a mapping system which plots where you are and where the job is. They don't navigate you to the job, but just let you know where you are etc and let you navigate your own way to the job. However we have started to get these systems that tell you where to go...in the nicest possible way! However we are meant to set them to the shortest route, which takes you down silly side streets that niether man nor dog can navigate down! If you set them to the fastest route (naughty me!) you have to remember to use a little bit of the old noggin and use the knowledge that you have. I can't quite decide which i prefer, however a voice telling you where to go at the end of a night shift is very helpful! However the old system just doesnt work outside our service area...helpful! We tend to rely on friendly local services/stations and faxed maps! So if you see a very lost paramedic in your local area it's probably me, lost as per usual!!
