Tracking/ICE app

I like the look of this app - although there is a risk of emergency services turning up and carting you off before you finish your beans on toast if you forget to switch it off when you get to the cafe

"But if something has gone wrong and the user is unable to respond, those contacts are sent coordinate-linked notifications and can notify the authorities as appropriate."

Always assuming there's a phone signal at the bottom of that ravine you just fell into.

Are you sure it's for you Neil, there are some climbs on the dog and will you be going fast enough for the GPS to register.

Funny I had the same idea 15 years ago, something linked to the speed of the bike with a mobile phone, before GPS was available, as usual I didn't do anything about it.
