well there is this one thing that is available in the UK and its called ‘BT’ panic push button. basically its a little white button deveice thing the person wears and if they are in troube they press the button and then it sends a call to the nominated persons telephone that they have chosen to be contacted in an emergency. its actually used for old people living alone but i guess it can be used in this instance. however the down side is that it may also contact the police or ambulance service, but i think there is a facility on it too turn those services off and just call the nominated person. hope that helps.
p.s. i think she shouldnt be doing something so dangerous in the first place that she needs a secret button in case she gets hurt!!!

If you are her "friend", I don’t think you are a very good one. A good friend would tell her you will not be involved in anything that you think will put her in harm’s way – period! Isf she decides to do it anyway, terminate the friendship.

Aside from that, if something happens to her you will be legally responsible as well for knowingly standing by while she puts herself in danger.

Really – what are you guys thinking? And you call yourself a friend?

Let’s see…
She’s doing "escort" work huh? That’s already an "iffy" situation she’s deliberately putting herself into. But you and your hubby are going to be in the vicinity… that’s mighty peculiar.
Go to one of the spy shops and get one of their devices or hook her up with a "wire". Either way, there’s still a delay between when she activates it and you actually get there.
Best to avoid the situation all together.

You don't have to subscribe. Just buy it and you can use it whenever you want (as long there's enough power in the battery and a map). Subscriptions are optional for showing radars, real-time traffic and map updates. I have a TomTom One, 2nd version, and it's worth it, even if three years ago I had to pay three times the price it's worth nowadays.

Is there a device that one person can wear SECRETLY, to contact another person in case of an emergency?
Freind is doing "escort" work. Wants me to help with "security". Wants to be able to push a "panic button" of sorts that will let me know that she needs help. Hubby and I will be parked outside of her "date location". Needs to be a discreet device, like in a piece of jewelery or a something she can wear on her body that isnt suspicious of its purpose.

Do you have to have a subscription for a TomTom navigation system?
we are thinking about getting a TomTom navigation system. I heard you have to have a monthly subscription for it. It that true? If so, do you have to have a monthly subscription for all navigation systems?

What is a very interesting fact about the Atlas Mountains?
For an assignment I need to find an interesting fact about the Mountainous region I am researching (aka The Atlas Mountains) eg. What was the first person to climb that mountain (you can answer that as well).

Also the site you found it/ the source I need as well and would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
