Yes and no. As I understand it, the new phones will be able to tell someone
where you are, so that they can come and give you CPR or offer armed
response, but it won't have a display that tells YOU where you are. So I
don't believe that they will be GPS's as we think of them.


But do they even do that with GPS? It would seem to be
easier to do approximate location via reporting which
cell(s) the phone is hitting and maybe its signal amplitude.
Not as accurate of course.

If it's really GPS I can't imagine that the manufacturers
wouldn't somehow add it to the list of toys the phone makes
available to the user.
