[mkgmap-dev] emergency_access_point

Mon Aug 2 21:24:06 BST 2021

Hi Bernhard

The only documented type number  linked to an emergency is 0x3000 or 
possibly any number higher that 0x3010

Having said that, this type number may not be used any longer and most 
likely when indexed may produced unforeseen results.
