Abstract

A system utilizing an Adventure Rescue Locator app and a Buddy app allows an adventurer to communicate his or her location throughout an adventure. The ARL app can provide quick and simple check-in messages that transmit location and other information and build a database of known 'good' locations from which an adventurer is able to communicate via text, as well as known 'not good' locations. The apps can share such information with a wide user-base, thus making the location information available to others. The app can serve to display the adventurer's check-in locations on a map; alert that the adventurer has an adventure in progress; keep track of the time the adventurer is planning on returning home and alert if the Adventurer fails to arrive; auto-confirm check-in texts with the ARL app; etc.
