Set a timer and if you are not back by that time you set, your contact will be notified to look for you at the last known GPS location. Assume you are rinding along the road, fall into a ditch and are knocked out. With the ANGi device, it will contact your contacts with your location and get you help. Can not press any button for help if you are knocked out so this device may also enhance what you already have. There is no charge for this service or features.
