The system is updated regularly with new roads, buildings and housing estates.
A new navigation system is being trialled by Yorkshire Ambulance Service in a bid to reach patients faster.
The maps are updated every week with new roads, buildings and housing estates to help paramedics find the correct address and the quickest route.Simon Marsh, chief information officer at the ambulance service, said "accurate and up-to-date mapping is essential". He said the system could "make all the difference to our patient care and response times through improved navigation".
It also means vehicles do not need to be taken off the road to be updated with the latest maps and data. "We now have up-to-date, accurate mapping data being streamed to the vehicles, ensuring that we are always navigating and working with the best and most trusted information," Mr Marsh said.
