I spent 30 years in fire service communications and would have no
difficulty with that. Inputting locations using grid references was
never considered for the two systems I was involved with and I suspect
that the cost of putting in place a system that could accept them
would have been expensive and rarely used.
A paper OS map would have been comparatively cheap and shows much more
detail than Google does.
and how many would you need to access and how long would a paper map last?
Likely they would last a long time given how rare it would be
that anyone would call with a grid reference.
