[mkgmap-dev] emergency_access_point

Hm Bernhard

i think it's the same if they get the names of the emergency access
point or if they get the coordinates from your gps device. As far as i
know, if there was a fire in the forest near by, thy also sent the geo
coords to the fire brigade or the ambulance
