Blue Light Maps

Works well however when using CarPlay says ‘unknown place’ unless app has already been opened before connecting to CarPlay. More road detail would be ideal on CarPlay such as up coming road names. There’s so much detail such as building names and house numbers which isn’t really required as I can look out the window for that. Keeping the faith for the time being as I know the dev team are working to get updates out.

Love the idea however found a bit clunky to use… When entering destination it would be nice if it auto populated a list like Google/most other maps when partial text is entered as makes inputting destination less efficient. Also found suggestions of locations when partial text searched for were nowhere near my location whereas other map services will suggest those closer geographically. When trialing found routes would take me peculiar ways for instance, through single track country lanes and almost unmade roads when motorway would be much quicker and more efficient especially when driving on blue lights. Although an ‘as the crow flies’ route may be quicker for non-emergency driving when in response mode these become more dangerous and slower as roads are not suitable for high speed driving. Really like the way properties are numbered on the map and the image at the end of the journey from street view however these sometimes can be wrong. All in all I love the idea of this however needs further development before I can justify the price when Google maps is much more user friendly, safer and free

Really great concept for this type of application and it is nice to have a personal capability. The developers listen to feedback and build on it with all recommendations and issues being responded to. Ultimately it has great potential and will be nice to see when Apple car play compatibility releases and future updates

Downloaded free trial for two weeks. Found it frustrating having to download maps for new areas on mobile data 'on the go' as it uses tiles - okay if you always work the same area or know where you're working advance. Found no discernible difference in routes and driving times to normal map apps.

Looks like a decent app, I get people have to make a living but the last thing emergency workers want to do is pay money to use an app to get to our jobs.

I recently discovered this and it’s great to be able to programme a route that takes into account the exemptions and doesn’t put me on the motorway all the time. It also gives plenty of notice of upcoming junctions which is important when travelling in excess of the speed limit, (the tracking keeps up well too) Having reached out as well with suggestions, its also nice that they respond and engage with the users to see what they want to see, time will tell if they come to fruition. A few further suggestions for them would be the ability to view submit and see feature requests on their page, it would enable us to up/downvote ideas to help them prioritise. My only negative so far is the actually destination input UI could be slicker. The search is simple enough but then to have to click one of 4 options to actual route to it. When in the seat the icon is a bit small. Another nice touch is the image that pops up automatically in the corner showing the street view of the destination when you arrive (maybe make it full screen though)

If front line emergency services were paid 60k a year, some may opt to spend a fiver for this a month, but I would rather spend that monthly subscription on something that isn’t work related - considering the wages, the cost of living , and the fact that we shouldn’t be spending our own money to get a faster route to an emergency
