That's a misunderstanding. And don't want to use this free service for time-critical request. Only for "preliminary planning". Many new Ambulance cars has a navigation system. I saw at least one TomTom navi in a ambulance car. TomTom und Google maps use Teleatlas as Datasource, so both use the same streetnetwork. A normal navigation system can give wrong routes. Google Maps can give wrong routes. This is normal.
Google Maps is a professional service for free.
