Drivers left stranded in this week's extreme weather can use the app in an emergency
Scots are being urged to download a free mobile location app to stay safe ahead of turbulent weather, as forecasters have predicted heavy snow winds and black ice.
The free mobile app is a location tracker that can help users share their exact spot with emergency services when they are in danger. The app is free to download on both IOS and Android and should be downloaded ahead of changing weather conditions and uses GPS, so no internet connection is required. Make sure you wait a few seconds until the GPS has settled and the blue dot is not jumping around - this will give the most accurate result.
