As Chris said, if you're not ambulatory, your options are limited to being found, which we already covered with the SOS apps, satellite connections and HAM radio communications (all of which will need signal of some sort). In addition, if you can drag yourself out, often the way you came in is the best route so it helps, as Keith suggested, to habitually save your track. I've never found a GPS track saver that I liked, but here are the ones I tested, which all do the job but which have issues in them I don't like.
