See it goes like this: I call and say I'm in trouble and here's where I'm at according to my GPS positioner. the rescuers pin-point my location within about 3 feet or so.
Wouldn't that make sense? Kinda makes it easier I'd think.
I know some places don't have phone reception but this guy did.

The problem was though his phone call got out, the rescue effort was stalled because of weather. Dumb to climb a mountain in winter? Those who do so probably would consider us dumb for taking chances in high performance cars. It's really all about what turns your crank...
