If you turned on the TV in the last 12 hours and watched a news bulletin, then you probably learned that a the plane crashed in a hard-to-reach area of a forest and that the authorities had great difficulty in locating the survivors. From what I heard on TV, one of the survivors would have owned one iPhone, although it is only a rumor, but nevertheless, the STS would have offered the rescuers an area of approximately 4km² in which to search the plane crashed.
In this situation, finding survivors is extremely important and two people died last night, most likely due to the fact that they stayed in the cold for 6 hours after the plane made a forced landing in the mountains, a much faster location could be their salvation. In this idea, I thought it would be useful to find out how you can find your GPS coordinates using an iPhone, even in the absence of an Internet connection, a connection that was probably unavailable to the victims last night.
The fastest way to discover your GPS coordinates is the application Compass, which after a short calibration will quickly display the coordinates under the compass. By double tapping on those coordinates, you immediately open the Maps application iOS 7, and if that location has been uploaded in the past you will see it immediately, otherwise you will have to upload it via the Internet. In the absence of an Internet connection, you will not see anything, but the coordinates will remain visible in the Compass application.
By giving anyone that 6-digit string you will contribute to your salvation, but here a mention must be made. Notice in the clip that the Maps application locates me, but the location is not exact, the coordinates positioning me approximately 400-500 meters from the location where I am (because I did not locate under the open sky), and this must be mentioned to people who will search. Finally, you can find out your location extremely quickly through a simple application, but you must know that, even in these conditions, your location can be inaccurate.
