Narrative:
Taxi out for departure in bna. Visibility less than 1200 RVR. Ground control not using charted low visibility taxi routes and charted flow. Ground control had us depart out of ramp area at spot 4 instead of charted spot 1; causing extensive taxi in very low visibility [in] uncontrolled area of ramp; then proceeding onto a non-low vis taxi way. Numerous aircraft and lost GA aircraft. [This procedure] caused a very dangerous situation. No ground radar in tower; [they] should keep everyone on charted low visibility (smig) taxi routes. Ground control created a very dangerous condition that did not have to happen.
