West Emergency Services supports routing by GPS, provided via SIP header. They also support dynamic callback number assignment for internal routing numbers.
I haven't used the GPS portion, but for the latter we would assign a unique account per user location and attach that to the user's primary extension via simultaneous ring. The user location accounts would have locations attached just like DIDs.
