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.
