Well said PM.

Sometimes the moving map has a lot to answer for - the obvious nearest airport on the map might be closed ( I’ve had that one...closed due snow) or it might not offer suitable facilities for the casualty and a better option might be overflight to a more distant airport (Gander vs. St Johns is a classic case ) and that is something the medics on the ground are far better equipped to assess than anybody on the aircraft.
