Get a 406 MHz PLB with integrated GPS. Should work worldwide.

The only problem I see with that, is if you crash or have a midair (or something
else totally unexpected) and it fails to go off, or gets destroyed, or the
antenna gets ripped off (or one of the other dozen things that keep it from
going off) nobody is going to have any idea where to start looking.

All valid points. My PLB will be activated in air if possible if the
engine quits. I use flight following.

An APRS provides the track functionality of Spot and no cost once you
get the equipment.

Any of these solutions are likely far better than your standard 121.5
MHz ELT
