In GPS and RF denied environments too. You know, your typical search and rescue scenario.

    In the very mild defense of this application, in a natural disaster situation, communications often are interrupted. Not GPS, though.

    Yeah, for lack of a better explaination, GPS is just yelled at you from space everywhere on earth.

    That's a great way to put it. Your personal device probably can't show a map without network because it doesn't have that map downloaded, but it does know your coordinates. I doubt that's a problem S&R has, though.

    The picture they provided literally says "Armed" and "Target LOCKED" in the corners of the screen.

    ahh yes, for those search and rescue scenarios where someone is running away from you in a dense forest in a cave, in case you end up needing to perform rescues on the Terraria planet

    Or maybe ... Under water!

    But for real caves are a very problematic area and having something self driven solves many of them. I am not talking about big caves here but small ones that are liked by cave divers to die in.
