Separate emergency department from emergency infrastructure

[polarbearing]

How to reproduce: Have a little accident, and get somebody to drive you to the next hospital with an A/E-department.

Go to Search->Categories (or Legacy Search->POI) -> Emergency.

Get a list of hundreds of Fire Hydrants, some Emergency Phones, a few voluntary fire brigades, water police, an ambulance car depot, the list is endless. No hospital with A/E to find between the clutter.

Try -> Healthcare.

Get Doctors, Dentists, Pharmacies, a rehabilitation clinic, social facilities (why is the clothing depot, an asylum and a senior residence under healthcare?), physiotherapists, vets, a geriatric clinic, etc.

The next real hospital with A/E would have been in 10,2 km distance, imagine through how much irrelevant stuff I'd have to scroll.

Proposal: Separate all the hydrants and fire brigades as "emergency infrastructure" from the manned departments you'd expect to provide direct assistance 24/7, such as A/E-Hospitals and police stations, as "emergency departments" or "accidents/emergencies/police" or similar.

osmand: todays nightly, however it's a long running problem

Agree. Fixed osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources@c6f98cb

Thanks. Indeed there are less hydrants in the "Emergency" category. However I cannot see an "Emergency infrastructure" category in the search menu.

I installed today's nightly (Dec 13) and checked my files. I do have
275914 2016-12-11 11:09 poi_types.xml
which contains
<poi_category name="emergency_infrastructure" default_tag="emergency" excluded_poi_additional_category="wheelchair_accessibility,fee,payment_type,internet_access_type,opening_hours">

should we re-open or make a separate issue?

[xmd5a2]

I see no point to add "Emergency infrastructure" to top of categories list (search - categories). However it is accessible via search and custom category filters.

Thanks for the explanation, I fully agree.
