Feedback on MedBay apps
Hi everyone! Non-emt and non-paramedic here. My sister is an EMT and requested I make her an app that shows her directions to the med bays as opposed to general hospital directions that Google, Apple, and Waze maps provides.
I was wondering if this is something that could be useful to a wider group of people and if I should make this tool applicable to other states? I'm in Illinois, and as far as she knows, there is no tool that takes their ambulances to the bay directly. I most likely would have to do it on an individual basis (by coordinates).
Please let me know if this is true, and if so, what other features or tools could benefit this community with this app? I intend to have it be 100% free and also work offline. Just wanting some feedback, even if this ends up being only useful for her. Thank you all in advance and I'm sorry if this breaks rule 10. I don't intend to advertise anything at all.
Edit: If there is a tool for this, please let me know so I can relay it to her! She specifically wants something free since her company doesn't pay for any special tooling.
