Question GPS personnal locator beacon ?

note: this title reads BEACON, not BACON.This thread is NOT about a bacon locator

I was wondering if there are quality personnal locator beacons available and if any of you has tried it.
Are these serious equipment or gadgets? do they work?
Can they be used as post-abduction locator devices?
I intend to use it in an area with cell phone coverage if that matters.Not for hiking.
I'm asking seriously and not as a joke/james bond fun.
I googled and there are apparently several devices that look serious enough.I'm browsing through them on amazon right now.
thanks for the info!
