Q&A: Do All New Cellphones Have GPS chips in them for E911?

Question by john: Do All New Cellphones Have GPS chips in them for E911? Ok, I recognize that some phones have GPS navigation skills and I KNOW these have a GPS chip in them. But Somebody told me that ALL new cellphones have a GPS tracking chip in them (regardless of whether they say it or not) that is Only for E911, when emergency workers are trying to find a person in distress, and it has to be activated by them. And that it won’t operate for navigation and the user manuals dont mention it. Is this accurate?

Also, If somebody is in a auto accident in a ditch somewhere and they dial 911, they could have a GPS repair put on the phone range and trace the telephone that way even if the mobile phone doesnt really have a GPS chip in it? So I’m genuinely confused now, who is right here?
