113-app for iPhone and Android. It shows your cell phone's GPS position while on call with the Norwegian emergency services (fire brigade, police, ambulance). It also sends your position if you have net coverage and registered the app.

Make an emergency poster which shows your position: 

1. Go to norgeskart.no, zoom in to the desired location, or search for a place with a name.
2. Tap the map to highlight position.
3. Then select "Create Emergency Poster" from the menu and follow the guide to print it out (in Norwegian).

It will show LAT-LONG position (in degrees, minutes, seconds, and in text) on a straightforward page that can be printed out and hung e.g. in your cabin or a place without a postal address. Can be easily used by people without knowledge of GPS. Here you can find further information (in Norwegian) about this cooperation project between the Norwegian Mapping Authority (Statens Kartverk) and the Norwegian Rescue Control Center (Hovedredningssentralen).
