When Mobile Phone Signals Die
Hi
One of my many hobbies is Amateur Radio from my car given right conditions I can talk to other Radio Amateurs around the globe. I also have a GPS interfaced to my radio that when turned on depending on speed will send out a location beacon including height, speed and exact location from 10 minutes when stationary to every 2 minutes when over 80KPH.
I also at times use my GPS when necessary when bush walking hence my interest in GPSs etc.
Perhaps you have come across the Spot Satellite Personal Tracker that is capable of tracking you any where on the globe and able to send a message via Satellite and Internet to let your contact track you via Google Maps any where that you may be. You can even send emergency messages via it as well.
It is I personally feel expensive for a single individual to purchase and subscribe to although with a group this may not be the case.
I am posting this more for your interest than anything else and to let you know what type of tracking technology is available these days.
You may care to look at the site that I found:-
