Apparently some Fire brigades ask people who are lost on moors etc

then tell them their location.<br>

Isn't there a simpler way? Perhaps to get a text message sent
with the long and lat?<br>

I would think that reading the lat lon to them should work, they
should be able to do any translation!<br>

Australia has an app..<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://emergencyapp.triplezero.gov.au/">https://emergencyapp.triplezero.gov.au/</a><br>
<br>
That places the GPS location information on the screen...so it can
be read out to the emergency operator.<br>
<br>
Note: The emergency line in Australia is unable to take SMS calls.
Possibly similar things elsewhere. This is unfortunate as some
callers have low battery and could be better served with SMS to save
the battery. <br>
