       I am trying to figure out the best type of Emergency Locator to purchase. I have no experience in this area of GIS/GPS and was hoping some of you could give me some advice.

Thank you Sincerely and in Advance,

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but the Boy Scout Troops here around the Gallatin Valley have been using SPOT Personal Trackers for a couple of years now.  Different service levels let you use it just for emergencies or for updating a web log of your travels.  I don't know of anybody who's had to use one for an emergency yet, but people have seemed pretty happy with the tracking mode so far.
