Abstract: A portable voice and data communications device capable of logging and transmitting position location data. The system consists of a transceiver and processor that receive, calculate, store, and transmit position location information from the global positioning system (GPS) and/or from a built in inertial navigation system (INS). The device has an emergency distress button that, when pushed by the user of the invention, sends an emergency distress notification, via cellular or satellite data communications links, to multiple preconfigured recipients as a text message and is represented on an internet based map display. The device can be configured to operate in two possible modes of operation. One mode of operation allows the user of the invention to constantly stream their position location information to the map display.
