Default "emergency locator"

Excellent summary of the current situation with GPS cell phomes.

However, carriers will soon offer something called "buddy tracking" which
will allow your GPS enabled cell hone to automatically send its
coordinates via SMS to a short list of selected cell numbers at regular
intervals. This might become useful for pilot to crew position reports.
We'll see.
