[pct-l] Spot Satellite Messenger

[Postholer]

Yeah, it's kinda cool for keeping track of those out and about.

The messenger part seems to be very weak, though. It doesn't appear that you 
can 'type' messages and send them. You just hit an 'OK' button and some sort 
of canned message is sent along with your position. Then folks visit spot's 
website to see where you are.

Describing it as a 'Messenger' is very misleading. Note: the device has no 
display screen or any kind of touch pad.

Another downside, is to alert '911' you just push a button. How many false 
alarms will first responders have to deal with?

This is just a fancy PLB. If used properly though, it's very nice.

It's not a Cell phone
it's not a satellite phone
it's not a PLB

It's a GPS enabled, satellite message service, could be just the ticket
