Track Your Progress In The Wild

Whether you're out running in the extreme heat ( Lisa) or putting up new routes in the Tetons  (Mel-lo) or skiing in Alaska ( John and Dr. P.) this will help others track your progress and see that you are alright.

image It seems like a great idea for wilderness travel because when you "...press the OK button, SPOT acquires your exact location from the GPS network and routes it through the SPOT satellite network. Your contacts receive either an SMS text message on their mobile phone with your message and coordinates, or an email with your message and a link to Google Maps™ showing your exact location."
