The TracMe is a Personal Locator Beacon that sets a new standard for non-satellite technology in saving rescue time and rescue team resources after a person is reported lost.

Once a person is reported lost, rescue workers can use any 2-way radio to home in on him/her for a quick rescue. The device is super simple to operate. Before you leave home tell a responsible party where you will be and when you will return. At the trailhead leave the preprinted TracMe card on your dashboard. Carry TracMe in an easily accessible spot, like around your neck on the included lanyard or clipped to a pack strap.
