This starts off in full screen, but you can minimize it to see other apps as well. The goal is to keep the satellite icon inside the circle to ensure a good connection.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to get out in the open first for a clear view of the sky as buildings, mountains and even trees can blog t he signal. The app will ask you a few questions that are designed to give emergency services a clear picture of what went wrong and how they can help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/04\/google-nexus-9-satellite-sos-demo\/popup\/-1200x1200m\/gsmarena_001.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aiming for the satellite\" width=\"215\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/google-nexus-9-satellite-sos-demo\/popup\/-215\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/04\/google-nexus-9-satellite-sos-demo\/popup\/-1200x1200m\/gsmarena_002.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Minimized view\" width=\"215\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/google-nexus-9-satellite-sos-demo\/popup\/-215\/gsmarena_002.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/24\/04\/google-nexus-9-satellite-sos-demo\/popup\/-1200x1200m\/gsmarena_003.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A reminder to get out in the open\" width=\"215\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/google-nexus-9-satellite-sos-demo\/popup\/-215\/gsmarena_003.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Aiming for the satellite \u2022 Minimized view \u2022 A reminder to get out in the open<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It appears that like the Apple system, this will only be used in case of emergency, the feature is called \u201cEmergency SOS\u201d.
