TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

The Yellowbrick essentially does two things, GPS tracking and two-way messaging.

While there is no mapping functionality on the device itself, the GPS reports your location automatically at set intervals. This can be sent to an online map (each device purchased is provided with a live online map and blog page to use if you wish), or as e-mails or text messages to previously defined e-mail addresses or phone numbers (or any combination of these).
