I do enough remote hiking and fishing that I’m strongly considering purchasing a SPOT tracker. I know that there are a few club members out there that use them (Puck, Harry C). It looks like there’s a choice of two of them. Anything you can share that might help me with my buying decision?

My model is not longer offered, but I can tell you that I like the idea of being able to compose my own messages, as some models don’t allow that. If you have a truly waterproof smart phone that could link……
Matt B. and Travis R. also have this service. You may want to ask their advice also.
And the bottom line is: What works for the way you plan to use it.

I appears that there’s a cost for the unit and an additional cost for the annual service. The SPOT Gen3 Satellite Messenger is $149. I’m also curious about how well it works in box canyons. I know my 15 year old Garmin GPS isn’t very good in box canyons. I mostly want to be able to tell a family member that I’m on the verge of dying and someone should come get the carcass before the coyotes do.

Haven’t seen any responses to the best satellite tracker recommendations. Now that I will be spending more time in the Colorado mountains fishing, I’m going to need something to communicate with the wife at home. What is the latest?
