Clark ""100m or 10m, who cares?" - is not what I wrote. The point was that any GPS (which I'm sure we will find in most cell phones for other reasons than emergency calls), not only Snaptrack, can give you 10 m or much better (less than 3m with WAAS). The beauty of Snaptrack is that you can get a fix in tough environments such as inside buildings, to some extent. But I don't understand why that has to be mandated. I mean if we really want to help victims to get an ambulance, we should build out or cell phone system in the U.S. faster to get decent coverage, so that we can call in the first place. It's incredible that we still still don't have good coverage near cities such as Washington DC, Tampa or Santa Barbara, to name a few.
