Hi guys
I'm new here, so apologies if this is in the wrong forum

I'm looking into Lone Worker safety systems for my company, having dones some basic trials with an SMS solution developed in house. GSM location services are too inaccurate for us, so we're looking at GPS phones for more accuracy.

We had a demo from TracAlert for their Loc8 Pro service. This service uses Garmin NavTalk handsets to send location reports on demand, by SMS to a user-definable number.

Is there another alternative out there?

- We need something that we can remotely request the location of (probably by SMS, but I'm open to other ideas)
- It needs to have an "Emergency" button for users to press to summon help

The NavTalk got a luke-warm (at best) rating from a post in this forum, but I think that was based on it being used for traditional GPS purposes.
Are there issues with the NavTalks that I should be aware of before buying 20-30 units?

Thanks for any advice you can give me
