Location tracking

Hi all, got a question on devices or software that allow someone to track my location even if I don't have cell service. I'm sometimes in fairly rural areas, especially on gravel rides, and, at almost 70 years old, my wife thinks it would be a good idea to be able to find my body if anything happened to me on one of my rides.

She most likely would try to check my location from our iMac desktop although she has an Android phone, too.

My understanding is there's a lot of options to share location if I have cell service where I'm riding. My question is ... are there devices that use just the gps location and make that available to either her Android phone or our iMac so she could see where I am. So, is there a way to track me even if I'm out of cell service range.

Probably not an issue for the next few month as my rides are shorter and closer to home but want to be prepared for the spring.

Thanks in advance!
