What form does AML send your location in? If it's done by triangulation from cellphone towers, presumably it's three strings of digits. That could be texted to the crews but they then need a way of relating that to the ground. Whereas three words can be easily texted or repeated verbally and located via the app. OTOH if AML transmits the location as, say, lat/long, then it really should be usable by the emergency crews.
ETA: to answer your first question: "The services uses either a global navigation satellite system or WiFi depending on which one is better at the given moment."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Mobile_Location What is the line of communication between 999 operators and ambulance drivers? How is the information passed along?
In theory, sending a text message is simple enough, but how does the operator know which ambulance driver to send it to, let alone have their mobile phone number?
I assume the CAD system is set up such that the 999 operator doesn't need to know who is driving the ambulance.
My guess would be W3W has been "integrated" via the operator copy and pasting values into their website
Same questions apply as regards how the operator passes on the info.
If they can do it for W3W, there should be no technological barrier to doing the same with AML. All they are doing is passing on a piece of data. If the end user (ambulance driver) has the means to use W3W data (a phone), they also have the means to use AML data.
I assume that like Deliveroo riders, individual ambulance drivers will pick up 'jobs' from the queue via whatever CAD app they use. Why is it that W3W data can be added to the job details but AML data can't? Am I missing something blindingly obvious?
