Ratings and reviews

This app is not exactly what I need, but it is quite close. It is one of two that I like the most for their clean, pleasing design and simplicity. I would give it 5 stars but for two shortcomings. One, it takes from 1 minute to 1½ minutes to determine my co-ordinates, whereas the other one that I like takes mere seconds. This would not matter if I were not in a dire emergency. Two, it provides the latitude and longitude which are superfluous. This information is already contained in the link. I want my message to be short and sent fast. One good point, though, is that it provides the accuracy distance. If I were caught in a sticky situation, my 'rescuers' would find that information helpful.
