Memorial Day and the summer travel season await, and that means time on the road for many Americans. Before you head out with your family in tow, you may want to consider these six tech products that can keep you safe and get you back on the road quickly if you have problems out on the highways:

Spot Connect
If you frequently drive in wilderness areas, the Spot Connect can literally be a lifesaver in an emergency. Spot Connect provides a satellite link for sending out an SOS call with your GPS location to the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC).

Price: $169.99 on FindMeSpot.com, plus a $99.99 yearly subscription.
