Take, for example, the I-35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis. It would take a while for Google's coders to enter the information into the routing database. If you're driving to visit your aunt on a Sunday, and the route takes you over that bridge, you can afford to lose 20 minutes when you get to the bridge and find out that it is closed. For a patient in an ambulance, those 20 minutes can be the difference between life and death, and you wouldn't want the family of the deceased suing you for leading the ambulance to the wrong route. Luckily, I believe that ambulance drivers, as well as police and fire fighters, get instant information about such events from other sources. ;-) -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
