If you are talking on one, they can trace it to which cell tower it is using, alot closer in major cities, a larger distance in rual areas.
There are some phones now that do have GPS tracking ability but they are still rare. But with those, yes to the very spot they are sitting.

When you dial 911 the dispatcher receives an approximate location based on the tower that you are using. In the city that I work the cellular phone could be located within 4 miles of the location that we receive, and is generally not of any real use in an emergency situation. Some cellular phones contain GPS that is automatically activated when you dial 911 (and in certain other circumstances.)

I don't believe that tracking is do-able by your cell phone yet. However, there will come a time very soon where 911 calls will be traceable to your cell and hence your location

They can track which tower your calls are taken by, which gives them a rough geographic area that you are in. Newer phones have GPS trackers in them that are used by 911, if the emergency services in your area has the software for it. Also, the phone has to be turned on for it to work.

Yeah, pretty much. They have to have the assistance of the cellular provider I believe. It is a GPS tracking system.

Not with pinpoint prescision, but they can narrow it down quite a bit. Your cell phone uses "towers" to transmit your call. They are able to tell which tower you are closest to.

yes but only if your cell phone is traceable and the 911 center is set up to do it.
