iPhone: High tech safety device

November 26th, 2007 by Tim Grahl

iPhone GPS safetyOver the Thanksgiving holiday I went for a ride with a buddy of mine on some new local trails. We had never been on these trails before and about thirty minutes into the ride he took a pretty bad spill and snapped his ankle. You can read about the whole ordeal here.

When you’re deep into some unfamiliar singletrack and there’s an injury, it can get extremely frustrating when trying to relay your location to emergency services. And this is what I was dealing with while on my cell phone. Fortunately, I started having issues with my phone so I grabbed Mike’s iPhone and called back. Since the iPhone is GPS enabled the 911 operator immediately saw our exact location on their map and was able to relay the information to the people trying to find us. In less than 20 minutes the first two emergency crew showed up on site.

My next phone will be the iPhone or similarly equipped with GPS, and yours should be to.
