THe spot Tracker

[Mtnseeker1]

K Scott this is where it's at seems you have one and I need to know more real fast.

THe cell is not buying me the security that I need to keep up with the home front.

To many bald spots with no reception at all.

So are they as good as I may hope for and are they worth it and the costs please.

I know it's not a phone but I need to have the folks at home rest a bit better with knowing that it works spot on.

It works great for me as a tracking device and also in case of emergency. Well worth the money IMO. I have actually been watching two different friends make their way to Prudhoe Bay, AK right now and it is really fun. One party is on their way back and another on their way. You can track on computer or I also have an iPhone app that lets me track friends. I've got 5-6 friends with them and its fun to see what they are up to and nice for family back home too.

I have a chance to pick up a used spot 1 for sixty. Are they good enough or should I hold out for a spot 2?

[accadacca]

Not really sure the difference. I've only owned the 2.

[Mtnseeker1]

K thanks
I think they are just a tad bigger is about all.

[Mtnseeker1]

Well I went for it.
Just need a ton of Litho batteries and to activate it.

As I understand it, the SPOT2 is not as good as the original (larger) device. As such, I've kept my original SPOT in lieue of the SPOT2.

Here's my SPOT shared page.

The new spot connect does this as well with any smart phone I think.
Not sure but I think it basically gives you a sat. phone on the spot all fun intended.
Which makes since for help I forgot my tools can you bring them to me.

Anyhow I'm up and rolling and did give them they 13 bucks SAR insurance since it seems so good.:lol8:

Well I want for it, I think this provides a good security to your bike and you get a rid from the tension which you get when you bike is at stand.

fire1 the spot is purely for the safety of the rider if he goes down in the out back and needs assitance like right friggin now.
