You’re hiking in the mountains or forest with your phone’s GPS location turned off for privacy reasons. Suddenly, you find yourself in a medical emergency in a remote, unfamiliar location. You don’t know where you are. You urgently need to call for help, but you’re worried that without a precise location, emergency responders won’t be able to reach you in time. What do you do then?

    I don’t understand the question - just toggle GPS back on for a moment to get your location.

    Also, just FYI - having GPS toggled has almost zero effect on privacy.
