Have You Seen One Of These?

The SPOT Satellite Tracker is "The World's First Satellite Messenger".  It works over most of the world.  I purchased one of these last week and have been playing with it for a few days to test it out.  When I first received it I signed up for the basic service, the tracking service (there are coupon codes for 1/2 price available), and the optional $100,000 emergency extraction insurance (only $7.95 if you opt for it when signing up).

The box includes everything you need to get started, even lithium batteries.  After a quick read of the manual I signed up for service and took it out in the yard for a first test.  This thing really works!.  Pushing the OK button sent a text to my phone and an email to several people I had set up.  The really cool thing was that a link in the email allowed me to see a Google map of exactly where I was sending from.  The map can be zoomed, changed to a topo map or even a satellite photo of the area.
