Met this guy David Thomas on Instagram who has a cool free app called AdventureSafely. It basically leverages your cell phone and the spotty cell coverage where you ride as a way to let your loved ones know where you are. So no, it's not GPS and won't work where there's no cell coverage but the reality is there's minimal spotty cell coverage all over that along the course of your route you're likely to encounter at least one or two of these areas that are enough to be able to communicate your location. You can choose to check in manually or at an interval then designate a recipient(s) to receive a text with link on a map of where you are. A future version will show you a map of these various spotty areas you can use to go to if you really need a signal to use your phone for another purpose. So it's not gps but it leverages tech you're already carrying, is free and is better than nothing! A perfect gift for that special KLR rider friend 😉
