Woke up last Sunday feeling fine,walked to the loo then collapsed,went into shock,tongue swollen to 3 times the size,wife called ambulance 2 paramedics arrived then 3 more not sure what happened but wife said I had 4 drip bags
lost count of the injections I had and she is fairly sure my heart stopped.
Taken to intensive care for 24 hours had loads of tests etc.Apparently I had a reaction to Voltrol (a pain killer I have taken many times without probs)
The paramedics got to me just in time.
So I was thinking if I was out wild camping how would I get the ambulance to me. If I dont have a address.
When you wild camp take a note of the LAT/LON from your G.P.S and write it down.You never know.
 
I don't know about others, but on the Tomtom, if you press the Help button on the menu, one of the options is "Where am I?" which gives you a brief verbal description of your location, for example "Between junctions X and Y on The A-whatever" or if you're at a specific landmark it knows about it will put that in. It's obviously not as precise as the actual coordinates but might also be useful.
