Save Emergency Mode to Your Phone
Add Emergency Mode to your Home Screen for quick access to GPS, 112 information and emergency guidance. Open the saved app once while connected to prepare it for offline use.
Add Emergency Mode to your Home Screen, then open the new app once while you’re still connected to the internet. This prepares Emergency Mode for use when you have no signal.
Important: after adding Emergency Mode to your Home Screen, open the new app once while you still have an internet connection. After that, GPS coordinates, emergency numbers, Icelandic phrases and saved Emergency Mode content can remain available offline. Live maps, weather, road information and detailed nearby place lookups still require an internet connection.
If there is immediate danger to life, call 112.
