KEY POINTS:
The Rescue Co-ordination Centre New Zealand is crediting an emergency locator beacon fitted with GPS for the quick rescue of an injured tramper yesterday.
The woman suffered a hip injury while on a group tramp near Shute's Hut on the Gentle Annie track, about 60km east of Napier.
She was rescued from the rugged terrain within 90 minutes, thanks to the GPS-equipped emergency locator beacon she was carrying.
