You may want to review how snaptrack works, GPS aided. Sure hope Nokia included a license for snaptrack in the recent multimillion smacker deal. Otherwise there will be long trip across the pond to 5775 Morehouse Drive to give more money to them. So you can have an ideal of what a typical USA 911 call is like, check the link in Message 16077462 This must have occurred in Florida, the state world famous for butterflies, judging from the speech, grammar and type of problem. With snaptrack technology, it would have much easier for all involved.

Snaptrack> GPS doesn't penetrate buildings. However, GPS-synchronized CDMA base stations do penetrate buildings. Many large datacenters rely on accurate time synchronization between server farms. There is an internet time standard. But, packet latency causes NTP to resemble expecting a cat to come to you when you call it. There are black boxes using Qualcomm CDMAOne radios that sit on a local network and transfer the GPS clock from the nearest CDMAOne base station to lock in the real-time clocks on groups of servers.
