Dispatchers working to locate cell phone calls

[Teegate]

You're driving through the Pine Barrens on the way to the shore and your car suddenly catches fire. You know you need help fast and start dialing 911 on your cell phone, but you have no idea where you are.

My cell has the gps feature. If it is turned on your location can be determined any time you use the phone. I have mine off but it will still send the data if I make a 911 call.
