    I call BS. They may have triangleated between masts, but I don't thing for one minute that they pinpointed a location.
    Unless of course, the boys in blue are not telling us what they have available .

    @Pengy They can pinpoint your cell phone or at least smart phones , I rung 111 a couple of years ago in the hills only had 1 bar of signal & the bloke on the other end said he could work out where I was but sent a link to confirm ..tap the link job done .Pretty sure they have or are getting even better technology now to better use the gps..they say for emergency's only .
