I'm looking for recommendations regarding small, personal GPS trackers that I can wear when out running by myself on trails. One of those things that will let people find you when you're missing. Hope someone knows what I'm talking about.

Leslie -- The one I'm familar with is called SPOT (web site here). Haven't really checked out how well it works for runner tracking..I carry it as an emergency beacon (like a personal eprb), but I think you can track someone.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
I have never used one, but if you search for "personal locator beacon" on amazon.com you will find a bunch listed with reviews.

You can set it to intermittently locate to let someone track you via online mapping...but it's not exactly the funcitonality I think the OP wants and not exactly wearable.
Don't they have phone apps for this?

I haven't run with it, but I do stuff the Spot epirb-like-thingie into my jacket when working the back forty, but I was wondering if the Spop Connect might be close to what she's asking about...
I think it's the personal locator beacon that I'm thinking of. My husband knows the general direction I usually go, and cell phones are useless out there. So what I'm wanting is a way for me to be found that doesn't require me to carry a cell phone.
Thanks for your help, folks ~
