Hello Micki, Charlie, and anyone interested in this spotty thingy:
There are two service plans. With the basic one you can manually
send messages. With the tracking option, SPOT will attempt to send a
message every 10 minutes, and it will appear on the shared web page.
Altitude is not reported (yet?), but if you're on the ground it will
become obvious after several track points in the same place.

Hey guys using SPOT,
please answer a question for me.....
when I viewed the SPOT website, it said that you had to push a button
to mark your spot....is there some automatic timer? I can't imagine
that it would be very safe to push the track button every few minutes/
seconds whatever....when I viewed the track of Gordon's flight...I
noticed that it only 5 track points on the XC flight.

What did Dave Leonard do? Hit the button when he started home, or is
there some setting that will track every so often?
Just curious!
Thanks
Micki
