For first responders, there can be drawbacks to using the same apps and following the same routes as everyone else. The apps may not take into account specific factors that can delay response time, like weather events, traffic accidents, or the size and weight of their vehicles. They also do not take into account local roadway or speed limit rules for emergency vehicles. When every second counts getting to an emergency scene, good enough just won’t cut it. That’s why QuickRoute was developed. Like commercially-available apps, QuickRoute uses GPS and routing data to provide turn-by-turn directions, and it routes around hazards along the way, such as a flooded road, an accident, or downed power lines. But then the QuickRoute app takes navigation to the next level, leveraging additional data streams that civilian commuters aren’t privy to that will offer responders greater flexibility when time is of the essence. QuickRoute takes into account the type of vehicle being driven—whether a fire truck, or ambulances, police cruisers, incident command units, even standard sedans—as well agency roadway protocols, specs like turn radius or bridge and tunnel clearance, and their unique ability to use lights and sirens to clear paths and avoid signals. Other data sources, including weather patterns, traffic and transit schedules, and local jurisdiction rules (i.e., right-of-way, private access roads, ability to exceed posted speed limits, highway exiting) are also factored in, giving responders the quickest and safest route to the scene.
Could be amazing if only it was functional.
I’ve had this app downloaded for over a year now and was excited to give the functions a try. The problem is, however, that I cannot route anywhere. I type in an address, hit navigate, and it crashes immediately. I have reinstalled the app, checked versions, restarted my phone, etc with no change. I have reported this issue multiple times now (without leaving a review as I assumed the app was still in development) and it has not been fixed. I want this to be available to EMS, fire/rescue, law enforcement, and agencies such as tow services but as it stands right now this app is just not there. I hope that I’m the future I can change this review to 5 stars, but until something actually changes I’m finally uninstalling it.
Not working
Whenever I hit start route the app closes
Freezes
Freezes when adding an address, must upgrade to use features of this app.
Not working
I’m on an IPhone 11. I’ve downloaded and uninstalled this 3 times. I created my account and when I try to login it just sits in the login screen with the spinning wheel of death. I sat there 30 mins and it did not log in. I did this 3 times. Hopefully the next update will be better and I can actually test it out
Crashes
The app crashes on iPad iOS 14.4 when generating route.
Great concept that doesn’t work
After downloading this application and completing the registration process the application opens. But when you search for a address and start the route the application crashes and closes. Very disappointed
Incredibly helpful tool!
I’m so glad this kind of tool exists, as it’s already helped us on numerous occasions!
