You’re hiking in the mountains or forest with your phone’s GPS location turned off for privacy reasons. Suddenly, you find yourself in a medical emergency in a remote, unfamiliar location. You don’t know where you are. You urgently need to call for help, but you’re worried that without a precise location, emergency responders won’t be able to reach you in time. What do you do then?
Does What3Words app respect user privacy?
If you can call for help, you location was tracked the entire time by celltowers.
GPS really doesn’t make any difference as it’s an incoming signal.
If there is a network connection, the GPS info can be transmitted by Google or Apple.
