i believe the T&E actually says "Emergency Services", which is a pretty broad description.

But, the way I look at it - they can see this information (my GPS positioning) regardless if I access that infromation or not. They had access to that information on my POS Samsung M300, or any other entry level phone. By accessing thisinformation myself, i'm not giving them up anything that they don't already know.
