A handheld device and system, in which such device and system include at least one mapping module, at least one tracking module interoperative with the at least one mapping module, at least one communications module interoperative with each of the at least one tracking module and the at least one mapping module, and at least two antennae communicatively connected via the at least one communications module to at least one central processing unit. At least one of the at least two antenna is suitable for communications using at least two distinct to communication modes.

Mobile unit and system having integrated mapping, communications and tracking

An apparatus includes a set of network communication modules, a communication control module and an input actuator. Each network communication module from the set of network communication modules is configured to send signals to and receive signals from a remote device via a distinct communication mode from a set of communication modes. The communication control module is configured to periodically send a set of second status signals intended to be sent to the remote device via each communication mode from the set of communication modes when the communication control module is in an emergency operating mode and the communication mode is available. The communication control module is configured to switch from the default operating mode to the emergency operating mode in response to receiving an input signal indicating that the input actuator has been actuated.

Methods and apparatus for emergency tracking

A handheld device and system, in which such device and system include at least one mapping module, at least one tracking module interoperative with said at least one mapping module, at least one communications module interoperative with each of said at least one tracking module and said at least one mapping module, at least two antennae communicatively connected via said at least one communications module to at least one central processing unit, wherein at least one of said at least two antenna is suitable for communications using at least two distinct communication modes.
