This is just a UI suggestion, the international symbol for First Aid or Medical assistance is most commonly derived from the Red Cross, a red cross on a field of white. The white cross on a field of red is the flag of Switzerland. Yes, MANY examples exist of the white cross on a red field for med kits or all kinds of items, but I’m sure Sheldon Cooper would have a rather scathing comment about all those incorrect uses of symbology. (If you’re not a fan of The Big Bang Theory tv show and don’t know who Sheldon Cooper is then please ignore that joke 🤓) You would tickle the inner child of every Swiss person if you updated the map symbols.
This is a good article discussing the distinction: https://pssjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1754-9493-7-13
The app is fantastic and thank you so much for your generous contribution to the BM community!! I’m looking forward to using it on playa soon! If you are there this year and want to stop by my camp of one I would be delighted to pour you a gin and tonic and chat over snacks, should be on the outer side of G between 4:30 and 5:00 with a flag that is the US flag but with a peace sign in the blue part instead of stars.
