Can I use this to send out a signal that people can track with google maps? or is it just a beacon for emergencies?

This is just for emergencies. ACR has new beacon coming out soon that will the ability to push a button that will people here I am and I am OK. There will be a subscription for the function. However there is no need for a subscription in order to use the emergency functions on the beacon. If you want something for true emergencies this is the product to get. If you want a messaging device then get a SPOT. The ACR products are designed as a life saving technology and are the most reliable.
