The on-screen guidance could not be clearer. Apple wouldn't tell us the size of its emergency-services-trained relay team, but there was no indication that this is a slow rollout with a small team.
I kept it purposefully vague, telling them I was on a hill in the middle of nowhere. I figured that if I was really lost, I wouldn't have a great answer to that question. Then I watched as that answer slowly made its way back to the relay center.Apple's relay personnel returned within a minute or so with another question about where I entered the area.
