I totally agree with all your points, my counterpoint is that we are all tech savey and in a stressful situation, it is probably easier for those less tech savey and for the emergency services operator to talk through an easy way to pin point location.

Yes. Simple concept that almost anyone can understand. Like a good user interface. And does not rely on the software platform you or the people you are sharing with are on, or the need to share complex strings of numbers or images

I like a simple concept. As others have said though this does depend on the software platform. It’s proprietary. Not an open standard. You are tied into the software and NHS has to register and pay licences to use it.

We are not charging UK emergency services to use the system.
