Spot Marks the X
August 4th, 2008
Ok, lame title, but check THIS out. It’s called SPOT and it’s an international satellite messenger device and service. For assignment shooters in remote locations, this is pretty cool. It’s about $170 and then $100/year for the service, but if you’re doing alot of exploring or if your adventures take you off the beaten track, this’ll cover you butt when things go south. It’ll also allow you to stay in touch with folks at the press of a button.
Be sure to look at the global coverage map though, there are some noteable areas of zero coverage.
Hmm… their coverage is kind of missing a “spot” in my regular travel zone. Or should I say missing a continent?
