[QUOTE="C clearly, post: 1116473, member: 1589"] Thanks for starting this new thread, Rick. It is easier to search for such information if it is not buried in a thread on a somewhat different topic. I am interested in the various options (to a limited degree ;)) but first want to emphasize that the most important first advice for getting help in an emergency is the following: [LIST] [*][B]Call 112 to get help[/B] anywhere in Spain, Portugal or France (or elsewhere in Europe). [I]They will get an English speaking operator to help you find and communicate the necessary location information.[/I] [*]In Spain, it is advisable to also have AlertCops (for communication with police and rescue,[S] IF you have an internet data connection[/S]) and WhatsApp (for general communication with most everyone) installed on your phone. [I][Edit: I am not certain of what kind of connection is necessary.][/I] [*]It can also be useful to know how to find your location coordinates on [I]your[/I] phone. Different phones are different, so this gets complicated - thus the reason for this new thread. [/LIST] If you want, you can stick with that level of understanding. However, for those who want further discussion about [U]location information[/U], feel free to post here, even if it duplicates what was on the other thread. [/QUOTE]
