Default Tracker

Does the Spot talk directly to a satellite or can it connect to the cell
system when your phone can't?

One of the more interesting uses of the new ssa sailplane tracker is
getting to follow some of our fellow pilot's adventures when they drive
around and forget to turn the spot off. Someone went from Mifflin to get a
glider out of Baltimore today, and some how got in and out of the port in
about 10 minutes. (It took two days the last time someone from our club
tried) http://ssa.org/sailplanetracker/default.asp?


Wait till the bosses learn about this.
Hookie? Me?
