### 2/5 — Not as good as it should be

*2024-12-01*

The app isn’t always up to date with the current locations stored on theLIST mapping layer. I have verified that theLIST shows the correct data but the app shows the old location of a unit in Battery Point. Also, it seems to use a very primitive ‘as the crow flies’ algorithm to determine the closest AED. For example, it tells me that the nearest AED is across a major river some 40 minutes away by road, ignoring the half dozen units within 10 minutes of my house. It really should use a street based algorithm.
