It (1) tracks "where you are" while other services depend on your
programming their system with the data.

(2) it sends the info in an E911 compatible format so your local
system computer can crunch it and tell where you are.

(3) it automatically finds where to send the info! Other systems you
must speak to an intermediary who has to figure out how to telephone
to your city EMS, etc.
