Cell Phone Question
Nancy
phone & would like this feature. I drive in rural areas quite a bit and
would like some sort of "locator" feature if there is an emergency.

As far as the 9-1-1 use of GPS, in NYC it is useless.
I KNOW you mentioned rural.
Are you talking about emergency services finding you,
or you simply wanting to know where you are?
If you want emergency services to locate you, you may wish to talk to
the services in your area directly.

My husband and I both got Razr's last year through Verizon. They have web
browsing ability and a mapping feature too. You can use it and pay "per
use" for like $2.99, or, if you know you're going to be traveling, you can
turn the feature on for $10 a month unlimited. It works like Mapquest or
Google Maps. I would bet most of the newer phones and carriers offer a
similar feature. We like that we can use it if we want, but don't have to
pay for it each month. (our contract gave us free web etc. for the first 30
days, we played with it a little, but it's not something we want/need in a
cell phone)

systems are set up to use it.

Phones have either a built in GPS (Verizon/Sprint) and other carriers
use less accurate methods. The problem is even though they have been
charging the E911 tax for years many states choose to use the money for
other stuff (my state is one of them). So the cell companies can deliver
the electronic information but various emergency call centers don't have
equipment to use it.

I have now figured this out after looking at various phones. I really
wanted just the locator feature. Thanks for educating me! Glad to know
all the new phones have it.
