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 Am 02.08.2021 um 17:32 schrieb Bernhard Hiller:
Hi Gerd, the question is not so much where the next emergency access point is, but its reference number (or name). So that I can tell them e.g.: "we are in the forest halfway between WI-1234 and RÜD-9876". That's an information they can make use of. Regards, Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
no idea if there is a good POI type for this. I see no good use case for this when you have a Garmin device with you which tells you your position. Why would you want to know where the next emergency_access_point is?
Gerd

Hi all,
"highway=ergency_access_point" (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Demergency_access_point ) seems not to be included in our style: only in case of a line (instead of a point), there's an instruction: delete the highway tag.
But it is a useful feature. In case of an emergency, you'll be asked: "where are you?" and then ... describing the place to the emergency service can be complicated: "on a cycle way next to the Rhine river a couple of kilometers south of the town of ..." is not exact enough. Unfortunatly, no emergency access point sign was directly at that place. Finding the name of a road leading to the place helped.
So I think it could be helpful to know the reference number of emergency access points nearby. What could be a good Garmin id, so that it is searchable?
