Morsing….

Late last year I had an idea about a gadget that would be a GPS trail/path logger and an emergency locator. There are a plethora of circuit diagrams and DIY project blogs on the web that cover a GPS logger based on a PIC microchip, but none offer an option to send of a Lo-Jack type of signal that sends the current location. This could be a low power CW signal sent on a certain frequency that identifies the exact GPS coordinate of the device. There are a few snags from a testing perspective that concern some of the technicalities of remote automatic control, however, there are also some great possibilities here. Kind of like a Lo-Jack for hikers…. which I know already exists.
If anybody out there knows why Lo-Jack has not been implemented in Japan, please comment.
