Morgans,

What is the European, or national systems for emergency calls? Anything
like 911 over there?

Sure. But every country has its own number/system. The cell phone systems
used here allow triangulation. However, it is not routinely used for
emergencies. While people buy cell phones with GPS in them for navigation
purposes, I don't think having GPS in all of them would go through with the
public here.
