This is interesting, you can rent a SPOT tracker for individual trips and excursions. http://trackme360.com/

Interesting. If I'm not using mine, local folks can borrow it for beer. It's a currency my wife can't easily spend on me. (gluten allergy)

I like the idea. It would be a nice piece of mind on the trail as well as a way for those back home to relax knowing all is OK. I can even use it to threaten my teenage daughter, (she won't know if it's in her car or not). :smiley_drive:

I noticed they didn't make it easy to find the "air-time" charge for those that choose to buy. To purchase the unit is only $149 USD. By going to the GEOS site you find the air-time charge of 29.95 per month, or the option to pay an annual fee of $323. The optional "insurance" for recovery and rescue is a deal at $7.95 per year for $100K in coverage annually.

Does anyone have one of these? performance? I couldn't find any technical info on the GPS chip used, internal antenna, etc.

I can't believe it cost that much to rent one. You can buy one for less.

Some people don't want to pay a yearly contract fee to use it once

I totally understand that one. I just looked at some of the prices to rent and they were extremely high. Thanks though. :coffeedrink:
