GPS & Digital Data Discussion / Re: Anyone using SPoT Tracker for Trips?

Would not leave home without it.  Unless an emergency happens which so far has not happened to me, on the trip itself it is more for the peace of mind of your spouse and friends.  I have some medical issues and my wife and friends seem to worry about me.  Also my friends enjoyed following my progress.  If you are writing a journal and taking pictures, it is a great way of keeping journal entries and pictures organized for the after tour book (haha).  It is not perfect however, sometimes it has difficulty acquiring the necessary satellites and your message does not get sent.  This does not happen very often as long as you follow the advice of the manufacturers.  I have used mine for several years and still think it is worth the price.
