One comment and one question.
I understand a ping of 100m etc. May not be overly useful in an urban setting but a rural setting it can be a life saver. That will get you onto the right road or general location close enough that most times it would be pretty quick to locate the scene.
Question.
Maybe this has changed but about 4 years ago we had an injury at a hockey game in Calgary. We called 911 for EMS. It was a City arena, we knew the name but not the address nor the cross streets. The 911 operator wanted a physical address, said they were unable to cross reference the arena name to a location. Is that true? Two things I have seen happen since then. First, most City facilities now have a location address clearly posted inside. Second is some minor hockey associations have mandated that teams carry a list of facilities with addresses included for quick reference.
