PANIC buttons

While we are dreaming, Microsoft Streets and Trips should have a one-click button to immediately route the vehicle to the nearest hospital, police station or fire department. There you are, driving along with the family when grandpa suddenly grabs his chest in the rear seat and mumbles "Heart Attack!" A single click on a hospital button should immediately drop all other routing and select the fastest route to the nearest trauma center or hospital.

A woman is driving alone when a creepy looking guy bumps her from behind, attempting to get her to pul over. One click on the POLICE button should route her to the nearest police/sheriff/ranger station or whatever.

Re: PANIC buttons

Even though it's a good idea, I seriously doubt it'd be a good implementation. My Garmin Nuvi has that. This weekend, sitting at home I thought I'd test it. It found the closest hospitals with no problem. The police option was an absolute joke. It showed the closest police station over 50 miles away. I guess the police station next door to me is a figment of my imagination. I also guess the city, county and state police stations 10 miles away are also illusions in my mind.
