Going hiking tomorrow. Finally realized I was sending my location to
my ex-GF, but I hadn't told her how to see it. Assuming the worst,
that I break my leg and can't get off the trail, but the phone is
broken or stolen, and assuming she actually notices it's 6PM and I
still haven't texted her to say I'm done, she can see my phone's
location using the simple instructions I found on the web.
When I am out alone I always run a track on my GPS (not phone) which I can
follow back so I do not get lost because I am 78 years old. If you are
really worried you should look at something like a Garmin inReach.
I use something like that for finding my car in mall parking lots.
