Spot
 
SPOT E-commerce!


Saw this while watching Jose (Spanish Fly)
Looks interesting.
Anyone know anything about it ?

Looks like the new device just enables/interfaces your smartphone/iPad device to send the standard Spot-type messages. No longer need to use the actual Spot receiver to to it. It says something like the 14 pre-saved messages plus location can be sent to up to 10 people. Tis will not enable phone calls, txt messaging, etc.

(Just reading the literature, I don't have one)

Christian and I have the first generation Spot. Not a lot of functions but it does provide a lot of peace of mind when Christian is pushing the envelope with our 20 footer. At the very least it gived you the last known position.

I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those on the water. Maybe if I was doing day hikes... But not in the ocean. Never again. Complete waste of money, buy a plb.
