406 Beacon Hire | 406 GPS Personal Locator Beacon Hire

The Rescue Co-ordination Centre New Zealand is crediting an emergency locator beacon fitted with GPS for the quick rescue of an injured tramper yesterday.

The woman suffered a hip injury while on a group tramp near Shute's Hut on the Gentle Annie track, about 60km west of Napier.

She was rescued from the rugged terrain within 90 minutes, thanks to the GPS-equipped emergency locator beacon she was carrying.
