Here's another clue that may help with these apps. They do have a feature that 
will tell you where you are. Each app has an item to indicate that you need 
help, as in needing emergency assistance. On the help screen there is an option 
that will tell you where you are, as in addresses and cross streets, you can 
use that to determine your location.
