The GP is me. :)

I apologize if my original comment was not clear, or could leave itself open to a different interpretation.

I really did mean that when someone in an emergency situation needs help, presently, they do not have the ability to send their location, a text message, an image or a video.

That’s it — I was only referring to emergency situations, and anything that I am discussing would be user-initiated.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that. (This thread has grown a lot of tentacles.)

That was very unclear. When you wrote:

> Consider how 911 is but one service

that sure sounded to me like you were advocating making this information available very broadly.

I could be wrong, but I read "Consider how 911 is but one service" as advocating expanding the idea to other countries' emergency services, not necessarily more broadly within the US.
That’s exactly what I meant.
