“I’d prefer one that only activated when you called 911. Otherwise, it ain’t nobody’s business but my own.”

They’d hit you up with the excuse (probably true too) that in many situations you can have cell phone coverage, but not GPS coverage.

I’d be happy with an “OFF” switch for GPS...but even then, how can one trust it, without removing the battery.

Hard to pull that off in North Dakota. A satellite in space is usually closer and/or a better contact than the nearest tower, especially if you're on AT&T.
