Locator 911

When dialing 911 from your mobile phone you may not know your location. Utilizing a GPS enabled smartphone, coupled with 3rd party mapping and location software, this simple and elegant application provides the user with a quick and continuous access to their location data, including GPS coordinates and address when available. It also provides a single button dial for 911, allowing the user to rapidly find their location and provide this data to a 911 operator in an emergency. The address remains available during the call for ease of delivery to the 911 operator.

To use, simply open the app, allow it to find your location, and press the Call 911 button. Your phone will then dial 911 and the app will provide you with an address that is visible during your call.

Conceived and envisioned by a practicing Emergency Medicine Physician in response to a 2008 rescue at a ski resort where delays occurred, Locator 911 employs intelligent technology to help EMS, Fire, and Police locate you quickly in an Emergency. This application is designed to bridge the gap between today's technology and the NG or Next Generation 911 service to be rolled out nationwide in the next 7-10 years.

Please note that this application is dependent upon GPS and your device's accuracy to provide you with your location data. You are ultimately responsible for confirming your location. Please see the EULA for further discussion.
