Nearest Emergency Defibrillator

Post by buzyg » Tue Sep 12, 2017 9:22 pm

This started as a serious search on Bing maps. I know there are several Defibrillators located, in Phone boxes, around Dartmoor. So I thought it would see if Google and Bing maps, could locate the nearest one from the centre of the moor.

Google was useless the closest listed where in Plymouth city centre and Exeter city centre. :cry:

Bing Maps on the other hand was far from useless..................................

It was simply hilarious.......................

Toowoomba, QLD 4350, Australia. :tumbleweed:

Try it from where you are now, just type "Defibrillator" into the Bing maps search bar.

Then e-mail them with the actual location of any you know of. :)
