SPOT GPS and satellite transceiver service

2008-06-25 17:08:18.379078+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Spot Messenger claims to be a GPS position transponder that transmits via satellite, for as little as $100/year. They have four levels of position message, casual progress tracking, check-in, help from friends and family, and help from government authority.
