The reason I am asking. Is because, the Android phone I have, is a pain in the (you know). Because, It is not good for someone with eye-hand coordination, and fine-motor skill, problems. So, I am going back to using a flip phone. While that will take care of my disgust about the Android phone. That doesn't solve the tracking problem.
Any feedback as a bike computer that would make it possible for Police/EMS to track and find a cyclist.
I have both, the Garmin Edge 200, and the Garmin Edge 500. The 500 tells me where I have been. But it can't be tracked. At the included website, it doesn't say if any of the bike computers have GPS tracking.
What is your real worry/desire? Are you worried that you'll go down (crash) someplace without help, are you just looking to track your routes or if you're missing for too long do you want a service/person to be able to ping where you are?
I had a Spot 2 for backpacking at one point but returned it. The cost of the device + the annual subscription + what it really provided did not equate to what I really needed.
