>>Yes Greg, your Alaskan explorers will not be out of contact if they can see the southern sky without a mountain in the way. Of course, Iridium will work in mountainous areas because it goes right over the top of everywhere. So I guess Iridium would be the right choice for rescue in mountainous areas in the far north. But out on the oceans, Globalstar will be fine.<<

Thanks. I found the global coverage map over at the G* web site, so I now have a better idea of the coverage. It's very mountainous here, so Iridium may indeed have an advantage, especially farther north. The GPS ability would be important.
