Most ambulance stations here usually aren't joined to a hospital, patient transport is another matter but they usually aren't used for emergencies. Some stations aren't even close to a hospital, like this one near me, it's about 6km from the nearest hospital: station: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/61848194 hospital: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/41130362 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
