Apparently Garmin and others might have gadgets available to let someone know if there’s an issue.
Anyone using something like that or even a remote mapping feature.
Asking for my wife.....she’s getting pretty nervous with all my solo adventures.
Have an Apple Watch 4, with fall detection activated to call my wife if I am down for over a specified time period. My iPhone will do the same without the watch also. With my Parkinson's Disease,
its a peace-of-mind thing for her, and less to think about for me. My phone app to log rides also ties in to the alarms and all the above items are GPS enabled so they give a location to the designated recipient of the alert.
jppe , I encourage others to try these at least. I have no experience with Garmin, but as popular as they are with the cycling community, someone here can give you the gouge on them.
