| Does my TT300 have a way of instantly displaying the data of where I am so I can inform the relevant emergency services? |

Only the latitude and longitude, I think. Go to the satellite configuration page and read it off.
You can also press the blue arrow at the top right of the front screen to do something similar, but the GO is not with me and I can't check.

In Brwose Map, if you tap the arrow at the top of the screen, it will find you GPS position on the map, and display the name of the road, (if it has one!) and the village/town name.
If you use Centre on Map it will show in close-up.

| If you delete your route, your current position is displayed at the bottom of the page too. |

From what I have experienced, the info about the roads and position are a little sketchy at times.
Does the TT not have a feature where you get the exact data of where you are? ie: Grid ref or Lon/Lat ref? |

Maybe thats why you feel the need to crash?  Maybe I should not press the submit button at this point....  |
