You can create groups with all pilots willing to be tracked example here for our club. The main advantage is that IF you use it through the very minimalist and simple to use Android app called "Skylines Tracker" also free that each pilot has to install on her phone, it uses very little battery one GPS call every minute in our case , as well as very little data much less than a MB for a 10h flight.
As seen on the link above if some pilots are currently flying It works throughout the world as long as some phone service is available, of course.

An inconvenient is that to my knowledge, there is no equivalent client app to "Skylines Tracker" for iPhones to use this skylines. Also, in case of delayed search and rescue, make a screen shot of the track ASAP, since it is automatically erased after 10 hours. If too late, and in case of emergency, people running Skylines aero indicate that they will do their best to provide the track. After several years of usage, I think it is a good compromise. I think there is difference between the US and many other flying areas in that we have lots of remote mountains with crap phone service even close to the major cities.
I think the cell phone trackers are a lot more viable in other parts of the world, while for us in the Western USA a Delorme is pretty much mandatory. I am pretty sure all the live-tracking for the X-Alps is cell based, something that would never work here since Paragliding in the American west is almost entirely "backcountry" as soon as you leave launch, even at the busy sites.
I had more reliable cell phone service while flying in Nepal than I do at my local sites in CA. Livetrack24, Airtribune, soon to come XCTrack built-in tracking seem to be a pretty good response to those needs. This, of course, has the limitation of GSM coverage, but that is something that the solution you have mentioned didn't cover either.
Now what it can do better, is the fact that it can work for unknown pilots.

As long as in the mentioned situation you might have known the phone number of your friend-pilot, it's not a common case in let's say Where not only most of the pilots are not locals, but also many people may change the sim cards to local ones, etc. On the other hand, some trackers have options to show the pilots around, which can clearly indicate some abnormalities.

I could imagine some accident reporting system built in XC Track easily, when the tracking is delivered. Satellite trackers are still a bit of pain in the ass. Slow, expensive, additional device, but carrying one might be the only insurance in some cases, even deep in Europe.
However, having to press SOS button might be sometimes too much and it's not common for them to automatically detect accidents. That's something that tries to enter the market now and I'm following it closely. So far I'm a bit skeptical. Also from my experience, what happens after pressing SOS might be a bit disappointing The topic of the phone auto answer is interesting though and I'd explore it further for sure. Well, I have done some meandering, and the internet of things 'sms locator' is far bigger than I realized.
There is a lot of paranoia out there: That would be a deal breaker. Is anyone using this app, likely Polish pilots? Hi Alan, "Sorry about not giving credit where it is due", says Mark, extracting his foot from mouth.

In New England, as in much of the US, there are a lot of places where one or all of the mobile carriers has no service, so there's just no way for a phone-based locator to be reliable for us. We use XCfind as a single easy-to-remember page for locating everyone.
The page was created as donation-ware by Dave Wheeler, a US pilot who is a coder. I'm sure for some size of donation he would be happy to create sections for other countries and groups.

In devices I really recommend the InReach. All transmissions go through much faster than with SPOT, and the ability to text via the satellite, back and forth, with an ordinary phone when they have service and you don't , or with another InReach when neither of you has phone service , is incredibly valuable when you need it. You text by typing and reading on your phone, which connects to the InReach via BlueTooth.
You can type more awkwardly on the device if your phone is out of battery. Your report illustrates that you don't have to fly big XCs in Nepal to need reliable tracking and timely rescue. You said another half hour would have been too late for your friend. I'm thinking, what if that instructor-pilot had not come along that day, or was an hour later?
Isn't the cost of reliable tracking actually worth it? I don't think anyone cares where cheapskates are. Regarding the accident at our site: Is it different in New England? Otherwise, the safety officer and I were already discussing who would open their kit to identify the crash site. One of us would have arrived 10 minutes later than the instructor-pilot. Once the pilot goes missing, you have a last known position, and probable crash site.
The smartphone auto answer, in my opinion, should be regarded as a viable locator. Like a reserve parachute, it should give you one more chance. How reliable is that especially in remote areas? See in German http: This part is the same.
If no radio call and no witness to the crash then we'd only start looking after they didn't come in to land, or at the end of the flying day for an XC pilot. Since mobile phones aren't reliable here we've been trying to shift the culture so a satellite tracker is just part of the expected gear and expense. Everyone gets to make their own choice of course.
