If you want something for an absolute emergency, get a PLB. The SOS message with a SPOT goes via a third party back to AMSA. The SOS from a PLB goes directly to AMSA. That can save precious time which is essential when someone's life is in the balance. However, the Spot does allow you to preprogram up to 3 messages and chose the recipients of each message (email and/or text), as well as having a live tracking function and the SOS message. That makes it a good option if you want to be able to send a message that you need help, but it's not a life threatening situation, or want to keep in touch with loved ones (having a great time, all good) when in a remote area. The spot will send a GPS location and link to a map with every message.
Re being able to read your phone screen in daylight, are you sure you can't turn the brightness up?

I'm wondering if this might be a contributing factor,, maybe i should peel mine off and try it without.
