The hiker texted a photo. Even better, since he had a smartphone, he could text his GPS coordinates from an app like Gaia. Not sure if there's a way to get lat/long from Apple or Google Maps.

He didn’t know he was lost at the time.

It’s a good reason to have find my iPhone or similar location sharing tools running.
