Enhanced 911 (E911) Information

When you place an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature seeks information to calculate your approximate location.

Important!: Always report your location to the 911 operator when placing an emergency call. Some designated

emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS location information.
