Yodel - Camping Gear Reviews
by Aaron
(Utah)
Yodel is a new app launched by Intelligent Design, available in the app store now.
Yodel turns your iPhone into a safety beacon. Yodel lets you easily send messages to designated contacts where you are, what you're doing and when you estimate you'll return when you venture into the backcountry. It also alerts you at the time of your scheduled return and sends your location coordinates through SMS or email to your personal safety network.
Yodeling was originally used by Swiss mountain climbers to communicate their location on the mountain to other climbers and to the villages below. Yodel works much the same way (without the questionable looks from others).
SOS FUNCTION
Yodel also features and SOS function that sends an emergency message to all contacts in the app's Contacts directory with location coordinates then auto-dials 911 or a designated emergency contact.
SEND WAY-POINTS FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS OR PROGRESS UPDATES
With Yodel you can send way-points during your adventures for bragging rights or just to let them know you're OK, again, with a single touch.
