No GPS, the notification still occurs. No radio, the notice doesn't
occur. What was the notification based on, again?


Any notification that reports GPS coordinates is GPS-based,
by definition. When you add GPS capability to a radio
transmitter, it doesn't cease to be radio-based but it also
becomes GPS-based. It's not an either/or mutual exclusive
situation. Just as one can have a vehicle that is both
white and a Chevrolet, one can have an emergency system
that is both GPS-based and radio-based.
