Trailer Parks Not in GPS Maps

After a response delay that ended with a woman’s death, Lee County (Fla.) officials are rechecking their mapping system to find missing addresses, including at least 20 trailer parks that are invisible to the system. Last spring a man called to say his wife was having complications from surgery, and tried to give a county dispatcher directions to the trailer home. But the dispatcher told him, “Rght, they’ll find you sir they’ll find you. Don’t worry.” But the EMS units were delayed because their mapping system didn’t show the trailer home’s location, and the woman later died.
