I came across this in my daily reading of the Spanish newspapers online:
The bottom line is that the 112 emergency line authorities have advanced geolocation capability. If you call 112 and ask for help, they can fix your position to within 15 to 20 meters. This presumes you are using a phone with GPRS capability. All smart phones have this capability as well as some older phones.
So, if you are cold, lost, injured, or feel at risk and call 112 for help, the authorities will KNOW where you are. They can send responders directly to your location.
Hope this helps.
