I saw something on TV a couple of days ago about a device for that. I don't remember the name of it, but it was around $100 and the subscription rates were very low. Try googling for "gps tracker", or something like that. Good luck.

I think I saw something like a pager that tracks your routes and other things. It may have been advertised on the Discovery Channel by that Survivorman guy??
