SPW, you are right 911 is the answer. No question about your emergency and they have your LAT/LON position when you call. Just stay connected and they will know exactly where you crashed. One of our retired airline pilots crashed recently in California and the cell phone was how they located him in a remote area. He didn't make it but they found him quickly. He didn't even have to remember to say Mayday three times.
