Help 113 GPS

There are around 400,000 holiday homes in Norway. A survey conducted by MMI for the Norwegian Air Ambulance shows that as much as 62 percent of the respondents find it difficult to give directions to the cabin. Very few people have an address registered to their holiday home.

It’s easy to just push a button and give the coordinates to the emergency medical communication center. They will then be able to focus on giving advice and help instead of focusing on localization

The GPS embedded in the mobile phone

Help 113 GPS uses the GPS in the iPhone or the Android phone and will quickly display coordinates and map references. The coordinates remain on the screen while talking to 113, the emergency medical communication center. Give the coordina­tes to the operator, and they will quickly dispatch an ambulance or air ambulance to the right place immediately.
