Any ambulance service with even half a clue would use a GPS.

GPS mapping doesn't necessarily work down to front door level

Corse it does, I use it every saturday to do just that.

particularly in areas with flats having
multiple flats per door or doors per building.

They normally do have reasonable numbering
and even when they don't all have that, its no
big deal to knock on the obvious candidates.

Hell of a lot more take much longer to get to the
place without adequate numbering and no GPS at all.

The obvious thing to do is check what the GPS is telling you to do.
