A good article about a smartphone app that can help first responders locate you if you are outdoors and need help, but don t know your precise location.

I have that app on my phone. I used it to map locations on the Lang Hastings Trail that I was surveying for incursion by vegetation. I did the survey with my trusted iPad, which I used to measure the trail width every 100 m.

Very good Mike.
I will have to download the app and give it a try.

What 3 Words is a fantastic application. I was first exposed to it a few years ago via Amateur Radio and its ties to emergency services. All of our local emergency services (911, Police, Fire and EMS) support it.

Hi Scott.  That is interesting. I didn't know that the app was used by the Amateur Radio Emergency people.
