Bux: Snap Track 911 mandate says location information must be accurate to within 125 meters at least 67 percent of the time. (http://www.snaptrack.com/e911.html) Snap Track claims …5 to 50 meters… (http://www.snaptrack.com/advant1.html) But a read of a full test report (http://www.snaptrack.com/pdf/ion.pdf) Leads me to believe the posted numbers are conservative and future accuracy will enhance once the test results are incorporated (have been?)

Bux. WOW. Cutting 15 to 30 minutes off the time it takes to initiate care to severe trauma patients from highway accidents is INFINITELY important. It doesn't sound like much time. In the emergency medicine field, the first hour after the trauma is called the golden hour because further delay of treatment greatly reduces the probability of favorable outcomes. Once the victim lapses into shock the problem becomes much more difficult to deal with. If Snap Track really will differentiate between lanes, I can see reason for the government to raise the bar in its GPS requirements so that manufacturers will be forced to incorporate best available technology into the phones. Further, I see the in Tele Metric in car systems as being an even more valuable safety feature and one likely to be mandated if they can be designed the way I understand QCOM envisions them. This I understand to be separate from the actual phone and capable of linking to various phones from various manufacturers.
