Re: Spot Satellite messenger?
There was a thread about this a while back with discussion. In the forum go to gear, then electronic and gps, then page 2. you will see the spot thread. I still use mine and like it.

I've used it; not much personal benefit for the hiker other than peace of mind, but the loved ones loved it.
