I've got to defer that to someone else. None of my PSAPs have Phase 2
being sent to them yet. I wonder the same.
If it's the last known location, what is to stop someone from pulling
the battery or, if a lithium cell is used in the intrinsic GPS
receiver, wrap the thing in foil, move and establish a call? Or, would
there be a "doubious information" bit that is sent so that the
telecommunicator could be certain to verify information?
Dunno.
