The 406 Mhz emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is much more accurate than the 121.5 Mhz ELT. The typical 406 Mhz ELT has a satelite based accuracy of 1-3 nautical mile radius. This gives Search and Resue only 17 square miles of area to search.

The 121.5 Mhz ELT could provide a 12-15 nautical mile radius.  This gives Search and Resuce 782 square miles of area to search. 

The 406 Mhz ELT utilizes a digital signal which allows additional information to be encoded such as GPS position. The GPS positon data to the ELT from the aircraft GPS antenna improves the accuracy to a 100 yard radius or 339 square yards. These new 406 Mhz ELT's with GPS capabilites enable average rescue time to only 4.5 hours. The 406 Mhz ELT does not require GPS to work but the advantages of addition of this capability is enormous. The search becomes more precise.
