In an emergency - you may like this


Hi all - just thought I would put this app on that is available for Apple and Android - called EMERGENCY+ - - when you open this up, it has your co-ordinates and the address of where you are at, showing not only to you - but to the number you dial - which is also on the screen, ie. 000, SES, Fire - should be mandatory for all travellers. Haven't tried it in remote areas, but will have a try next time we are out there.

I know first hand what happens Emergency has been the person who answered 000 calls , Someone reporting an Emergency and do not have any idea where they are , You would have to ask the name of the last town they had past and then have to a unit from both end of the section respond to make sure you can get help has quick has possible .

All I have to do now is learn how to use an app while I'm on the phone. I know it can be done but I still cant use hold and answer another call

Just remember to activate the WI-FI on phone B4 hitting button
or the location is blank
Just get the Lat/Long. Plus services to call.

Bloody magic app for anybody I reckon

And the older/basic phones without GPS won't locate you either.

Just make ph call for you.

It's also one of the rare apps that is available on all three main OS - iOS, Android and Windows Mobile. (Though I notice that Samsung is in the process of establishing a fourth OS, just what we need. :/ )
