Hello In an attempt to enhance the safety of our field workers who are often working alone, on foot, in the countryside we tried out GPS equipped mobile (cell) 'phones set up to relay positions (in Lat Long) by text message. The experiment worked well and the concept was proved. The 'phones are not inexpensive and our safety review group speculated that technology may available that could in addition to acting as a 'phone be used as a GPS receiver integrated with a data logger.
Ideally I am looking for single pocket portable device which could act as a GMS cell 'phone replace the Garmin12Xls currently used display maps with current position store data at current position relay by text message positions (preferably in National grid rather than Lat Long) to any cell phone (at specified time intervals, or on pressing an emergency button or on not responding to an alarm) be used continuously for a day on one set of pocket portable batteries Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully received. Regards Brendan O'Donovan Snr Exploration Geologist Tara Mines Exploration Department Ireland. --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 8725
