Was wondering if anybody knew if you could use this without an internet connection and a phone that uses emergency 911????

The location is not accurate. If I use this app to get help I'm screwed. This app will send all first responders to my neighbor's and put my safety at risk. It's useless. It's not my phone causing the GPS problem. The maps app on my has no problem pin pointing the correct location. This app uses the same maps as the real estate websites. They have the same results. Either way this app is useless in a crisis. I will call 911 the old fashioned way to make sure they find me before it's too late.
