SPOT pricing going up again...
Well, I thought I'd log in and cancel my account but it seems I can't.
My username/password pair doesn't work and, when I asked to have a reset
link sent, they said it was sent to my email account. It wasn't.
Hopefully I did not update my credit card information last time the
number was changed...

I just got notice from SPOT Tracking that they are increasing fees again for my next annual renewal. A few years ago, they added a "network fee" of $9.99 to my bill. That is now going up to $14.99. It looks like for tracking service, yearly fees will go from around $162 to $199.99. So another $50 per year.
Flying out west in the mountains and Great Basin as we do here in Utah, we have to have GPS tracking devices. With the yearly pricing now around $215 per year for only basic tracking every 10 minutes without altitude reporting, is it time to consider one of the other better featured GPS tracking devices and services?
Don't get me wrong, I have been grateful for having my SPOT with me flying for the last 9+ years.
The snow is finally melting...now if only the rain would stop!
