Thoughts are with all of our frontline users with aircon that's long overdue a regas. Also those policing events in sweaty carriers, where the air con is loud enough to be the helicopter, but nowhere near as powerful. Don't forget to have a Cornetto. 🍦

"Fight at Ockendon Road, junction with Southgate Road". It's often difficult to know how to spell a road name when hearing it rapidly fired to you over the radio. It's why junctions are often used. Was that 'Okondon Road', 'Okenden Road', ..?

Lots going on behind the scenes to integrate @OrdnanceSurvey 's average speed data into our routing algorithms, as we fine tune ETA calculations and further improve optimal route selection. As we get data from more real world blue light runs, the model only gets better.

We’re excited to announce an even more niche version of Blue Light Maps, tailor-made for long-neglected police dogs. Recent cuts to dog units mean there simply aren’t enough officers available to drive the dogs to emergency calls.

🚨 Emergency responders worldwide are choosing Blue Light Maps for critical navigation! 🚨 This week alone, first responders have relied on us in Cardiff, Wakefield, Leeds, Sheffield, Gosport, Nottingham, Scotland, Gloucestershire, Switzerland, Texas, Florida, and London. 🌍 Why? Their needs are as diverse as their locations: ✅ Exemption-based routing – because standard traffic rules don’t always apply in an emergency. ✅ Detailed Ordnance Survey data – delivering precise, trusted mapping. ✅ what3words integration – pinpointing exact locations with ease. ✅ Smart routing for patient care – avoiding speed humps when a smooth ride matters most. ✅ Turn instructions in ample time – because we know they’re moving much faster than the average driver.

🚒 Responders using Google Maps are often directed to avoid the 'closed' motorway... 'closed' because of the crash they're trying to get to. 🚀 Our app can now that find the closures that really matter to frontline emergency service workers.

Buildings in Greater London, Ordnance Survey data. I particularly like how clearly you can make out the runways at Heathrow. Definitely nothing to do with an upcoming @BlueLightMaps release. #30daymapchallenge

It seems nothing is off limits for state hackers. 📋 I'm hearing that ambulance crews are increasingly having to resort to more manual forms of dispatch during outages. 🌐 As we build out more advanced online capabilities for Blue Light Maps, staying 'offline first' is a key consideration/test scenario . No matter the accessibility of online services, it's vital that responders can still get to where they're needed.

We're keeping busy at @emergencytechuk today and tomorrow. Great to speak to existing users and new ones alike, pop by for a chat if you're visiting :)

🌑🚓 As the rest of us sleep, first responders are wide awake. To support you through every hour of the night, we’re thrilled to unveil a refreshed Dark Mode. This new style promises less strain on your eyes and a clearer path forward, no matter the hour. 👉 Take a sneak peak - update is rolling out via the app stores soon! #NoNeedForCarrots #AlwaysOnTheGo #BlueLightMaps
