Soaring with SPOT
I haven't bought one yet but probably will before spring.
My thought has been that it would be highly desireable if we were to
adopt a common meaning to the 3 buttons. I think that the gymnastics
to send an OK in flight is not acceptable and so I would rule that
out. Here would be my proposal:
OK = My cell phone does'nt work here. I have landed out. Please
come get me.
HELP = My cell phone does'nt work here. I have landed out. Please
bring help for difficult retrieve.
911 = My cell phone doesn't work here. Injury or urgency. Send
Helicopter.
