Public Safety

Navigation and mapping technology built for the needs of frontline Emergency Services

About us

Blue Light Maps is the navigation solution built for frontline emergency services. Traffic restrictions for the general public are increasing in urban areas, and while emergency services often have exemptions, off the shelf solutions fail to empower our first responders to make use of them - often leading to longer routes. Blue Light Maps empowers the frontline with the direct routes and location data they need.

    I stumbled upon a UK police Reddit thread discussing apps useful for police officers. Guess what? Blue Light Maps came up. 👮♀️ "This works so much better than Google Maps. Just having actual house numbers on there is a good [sic] send!” Organic proof that first responders are finding our app genuinely useful out in the field. It helps them navigate more efficiently, respond to calls faster, and keep communities safer. To all the senior officers and decision makers I’m connected with: if you’re looking for ways to support your teams on the ground, take a look. It might just be the difference between “there in time” and “too late.”

    What do Southampton, Bristol, Cambridge, Preston, and Greenwich all have in common? 📸 They’ve all introduced or announced new camera-enforced vehicle access restrictions in the last **week** — mostly extra bus-only “bus gates.” 🚙 For drivers, these changes mean going to the shops in 2025 won't be so easy. 🚨 But for first responders, not having a GPS solution that factors in their legal exemptions means inadvertently taking longer routes, leading to slower response times and using more fuel. Ready to equip your staff with smarter navigation? Let's chat.

    Responding to a stabbing (👮♂️) a few years back, I had issues finding the victim. 📞 The control room gave me a road name and the block they were outside. 🚔 I knew the road, and got there pretty quick. 📍 Problem was, Google Maps couldn't find the block via search, or show its name. It still doesn't. 🗺️ I had to find and pull up alongside a physical council map of the estate, shine my vehicle's light on it 🌚 , and have a colleague hop out to take a look and talk me in. That's why I recognise the importance of exposing comprehensive data to the frontline, and why Blue Light Maps has now fully integrated Ordnance Survey building and address data. Thanks Egbe Manners, Wes Clift and the wider OS team for your support

    Listening to the frontline has really shaped Blue Light Maps. 👮♀️ Allowing individual responders to subscribe wasn’t in our original roadmap, but I’m so glad we listened to the demand. 💬 Building direct relationships with those using our solution daily has enabled us to refine the product and deliver even more value where it matters most—on the frontline. 🎙️ This month’s update includes voice input for CarPlay, addressing feedback from users who found some newer police vehicles disable the keyboard while in motion. #firstresponders #EmergencyResponse #PublicSafety

    I'm continually amazed by the operational inefficiencies caused by poor use of routing data. Addison Lee allocate the closest cab, not the fastest. Here's an example of why that matters. This driver was pretty close to me, unfortunately he was on a motorway without an exit for several miles. Are you really allocating resources efficiently? Are your drivers empowered to find the best route? Come chat to us at The Emergency Tech Show next week, or get in touch for a demo.

    This scene is replicated in emergency response vehicles all over the world. I've been there myself—often, I'll admit, with a bit more swearing involved. That's exactly why I founded Blue Light Maps. If you're looking to foster an efficient, more harmonious workplace and significantly cut down on response times, let’s chat. Blue Light Maps empowers your crews to use their exemptions and get where they need to be, faster and with less stress. Credit [instagram] @bluelight_lifestyle
