Joseph Elfelt<p>Tip to save your life.</p><p>If you ever need to call for help in an emergency (police/fire/rescue/etc) you need to give your location. What if you are not at a street address or you do not know the address?</p><p>GPS chips in phones all basically work the same way. They produce (1) your latitude longitude coordinates in decimal degrees and (2) an accuracy value in meters. </p><p>Caution! When you first turn location services ‘on’ the accuracy value could easily be over 5,000 meters.</p><p>Caution! Some software (looking at you Google maps) only displays coordinates and does not display the equally important accuracy value.</p><p><a href="https://findmesar.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">findmesar.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> is an open source <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ProgressiveWebApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProgressiveWebApp</span></a> (PWA) I developed that displays your coordinates and accuracy value in several formats. It can be installed on Android and iOS for offline use. **Not available in any app store, not on GitHub and 100% enshitification free.**</p><p>To give it a try, open FindMeSAR, scroll down and tap ‘No’ and then give permission to use your location. Now tap ‘Next format’ to scroll through the various formats.</p><p>For instructions on how to install it for offline use, tap ‘Tips’.</p><p>Other buttons let you copy the data to the clipboard and, if your device is online, open the GISsurfer web map with a marker at your location.

It calling does not work then try sending a plain text - no pics - just text. Plain text requires less bandwidth on the cell tower.</p><p>2. If you are in a group and people use different carriers, try a phone for each carrier.</p><p>3. To share your location send latitude longitude in decimal degrees *and* the accuracy value. </p><p>I developed <a href="https://FindMeSAR.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">FindMeSAR.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> to help with #3.

Does that make you think of anything?</p>
