1. A telemetry system comprising:
- a transmitter configured to provide tracking data;
a receiver adapted to define a coverage area, wherein the receiver is configured to receive the tracking data from the transmitter only when the transmitter is within the coverage area; and
a processor configured to receive the tracking data from the receiver, said processor configured to estimate the location of the transmitter when the transmitter is outside the coverage area based on the tracking data.
