"I'm northbound a couple hundred meters past Costco" should be enough for my tow truck driver to track me down.
Dont emergency services know your exact location as soon as you, or someone else calls with a cell phone? If it’s just a call to AMA, etc, then “3 mins past the 164th overpass” should also do the trick, unless there are some many cars pulled over they can’t tell which is yours. Agree that this seems to be an odd complaint.
