No, the post revolved around knowing with some precision where I was,
Which in the scenario you provided of your phone being stolen or broken is
impossible.
If the phone is broken or stolen, the next best bet is a HAM or Satellite
radio in the backpack. Now if even the backpack is stolen or crushed....
then I'm out of ideas for micky's situation.
Only GPS and battery, and I have plenty of battery and GPS is exceedinly
reliable. There was no cell signal on 90% of the trail, and certainly
no wifi.
Well that's useless for anyone but you. Your ex nor the police will ever
where you are from your phone 90% of the time.
In order for him to communicate, he's gonna need either a radio, or, if
they're looking for him, a mirror or bright flashlight.
Lots of people have spelled HELP in the sand on an island also... but
that's far out of the realm of the comp.mobile.android newsgroup I think.
But I challenge your use of "depend on". You missed the part that I had
told my friend where I was going on and how long it would take me.
Good.
I have a similar issues as micky does, in that I hike alone and I'm well
into my age of breaking bones being easy - so that's why I have SOS
mechanisms on my phone (which require cellular signal of course).
I also keep a small ham radio in a plastic bag in the backpack.
The
technology part is a supplement, so that they will be find me faster.
Not without a data connection they won't.
Actually, he doesn't need a "data" connection, per se, since SMS doesn't
need cellular data - where all he has to do is send a text but if he's out
of cellular connection - that text will wait until his phone floats
downstream in a plastic bag until it finally reaches civilization.
