Kembali ke SAR Tobit. Saya segera melakukan korespondensi dengan pihak Garmin Internasional, karena pikiran saya, CSX 60 itu termasuk GPS yang bagus dan mungkin saja memiliki fasilitas transmit ataupon Garmin Intl memiliki log pergerakan survivor di lokasi. Segera saya kirimkan email ke Garmin pagi hari.
===================
Dear Garmin Team,
My name Audy Tanhati. I'm member of Mahitala Parahyangan University, Bandung, Indonesia. Now, I have a urgent matter. One of our friends lost in a mountain. And he is using Garmin GPS (we are searching the box of his GPS at his home to know the GPS' serial number). I want to ask, what the procedure I must complate if I want to ask the last location of our friend, so the SAR Team could minimize search area.

Fyi, Joan Tobit Sigalingging lost since 28 Okctober 2013 at
Mount Kendang ( lat = -7.2406768, lon = 107.7072143). Thanks

Lalu malam harinya, email saya dibalas oleh seseorang yang bernama Betty. Pikiran saya, wah Garmin cepat sekali dalam merespon email urgen seperti ini. Ini balasannya :
==========
Audy –
My
name is Kim Beatty and I am an attorney for Garmin International. I
have received your email. This sounds like a very unfortunate incident
for your friend
and I hope that he is located very soon.
In
order to assist you, I need as much information as possible, but in
particular, I need to know what Garmin GPS device he was wearing/using
and the serial
number. You should know, however, that very few of our devices provide
for “real time” tracking and most of our devices contain receivers but
do not transmit location. In other words, the location data is stored in
the device itself but not shared with our
systems or servers.
Hopefully
you can locate his GPS box so we are able to determine which device he
was using and then I can let you know if it is one that provides real
time
location or not. If you are unable to locate his GPS box to determine
the model, send me his name, address, phone number and I will try to
locate his information through our customer registration system. I will
only be able to search the system if he registered
the device.
I hope we can help!

Ok, dapat respon dan saya pikir cara ini bisa dilakukan. Kalau kami memiliki lokasi titik terakhir survivor menggunakan GPS atau menentukan "way point" pada GPS nya, maka search area akan semakin kecil dan ini akan mempermudah Tim SAR di lapangan untuk mencari survivor di area yang sedemikian luas. Dan saya segera menghubungi tim di lapangan untuk menjelaskan cara ini dan segera meminta nomer seri dari GPS tersebut dan mudah-mudahan saja GPS tersebut juga sudah pernah di registrasi supaya Garmin bisa mengidentifikasi GPS tersebut. Sembari menunggu tim lapangan mencari serial number yang tertera pada box GPS (berarti box ada di rumah) saya kembali mengirimkan email kepada Beatty tipe dari GPS tersebut.
=======================
Dear Beatty,
Thank
you for your fast respond. Now, our team is search for that box. But,
for your information, Tobit is using Garmin 60 csx. If there is a
further information that you need, I'll let you know ASAP.
Thank you very much

Dan kembali di pagi harinya Beatty membalas :
=======================
Audy –
Unfortunately,
if your friend is using the 60CSX unit, it is not one that will
transmit location data so we could not locate the device. All of the
location
data is stored on the internal memory of that device only. I am sorry
we are not able to assist and hope your friend is safe.

Sayang sekali. Rupanya GPS yang dipergunakan survivor bukan merupakan tipe yang bisa mentransmit data ke satelit (yang akan diteruskan ke server Garmin tentunya) karena model itu hanya mendukung sistem receiver data saja dari satelit. Dan log track atau way point yang sudah ada akan disimpan di dalam memori card atau internal memori di GPS tersebut. Sedih rasanya membaca email ini. Tapi cara lain harus tetap dicari untuk menemukan survivor sesegera mungkin.
Berkaca dari kasus ini, meregister sebuah gadget sebenarnya bukanlah sebuah keharusan. tetapi tidak ada salahnya apabila kalau kita membeli sebuah gadget, kita segera melakukan proses registrasi pada web site dari produk tersebut agar pihak produsen tau bahwa gadget tersebut sudah diberi nama dan sudah dimiliki oleh kita, jadi apabila terjadi hal-hal yang tidak kita inginkan seperti kecurian ataupun yang lainnya, gadget tersebut bisa diidentifikasi dengan langkah-langkah tertentu.
