Emergency Contact & Location Helper: common questions
How can I find the nearest police station?
Enter a location and open the Maps search, or request nearby Geoapify police listings when configured. Up to three candidates within 10 km may be shown. Nearness does not establish jurisdiction; map listings and telephone numbers are not treated as official verification.
How can I share my location with emergency services?
Review the address, landmark and GPS accuracy. Copy the address, coordinates or map link and share them yourself. OmniKit sends nothing to emergency services automatically.
What number should I call in an emergency in India?
Call 112 for urgent police, fire, medical or rescue assistance. For cyber financial fraud, call 1930 promptly and use cybercrime.gov.in. The tool lists official sources and regional usage notes; specialist helplines do not replace 112 in immediate danger.
Can I use the tool without allowing GPS?
Yes. Official contacts, situation suggestions and manual address or landmark entry work without GPS. Coordinates can also be entered manually. There is no login requirement.
Does OmniKit share my location automatically?
No. GPS is requested only on a button press and is not tracked in the background. An optional address or station lookup sends coordinates through OmniKit to Geoapify only after you request it. Maps links send your chosen location to Google when opened. Descriptions and location history are not saved to the backend.
How accurate is the detected address?
GPS accuracy depends on your device and signal. Reverse-geocoded addresses are approximate map data, not exact verified addresses. Check the accuracy, correct the address and add a recognisable landmark. If lookup is unavailable, manual entry and coordinates still work.
