” have a landline for two reasons...one important,the other no so important.The important one...in case I have to call 911 urgently.Police...fire...ambulance...I want the dispatcher to know *exactly* where I am in case I’m unable to tell him.”

GPS is amazing. Even in my house it shows which room my phone is in!

“The not so important reason....better sound quality.”

Solved with a good wifi system!

My understanding of GPS is that the Air Force limits its accuracy...for *civilian* use...to something like 12 feet.I live in a huge condo complex with many large buildings packed into a tight space.If a dispatcher were to depend on GPS to find me...if I'm having a heart attack and can't talk,for example...the ambulance would probably be dispatched to the right vicinity only to find a hundred or more units,in three or four buildings,within a 60 foot radius.Not good enough for my liking.
