Both the HELP and OK have canned messages attached to them as BillB pointed 
out. So displaying the message is kind of pointless.

I think the question that is being asked is this, "What is the benefit of 
adding HELP's along with OK's to a google map, without knowing the nature of 
the help needed?"

Additionally, is asking for non-emergency HELP from the entire coummunity en 
masse a behavior we want to encourage within hiking community? Might this 
desensitize those willing to help when help is truly needed?
