    An InReach is still a better choice.

    Trackleaders will track your Spot and put you on their map too!

    I reach is the best. Start and stop service when ever you want. Spot 3 requires a yearly membership. Also heard that people had to cancel their CC to get the billing stopped. Just my two cents worth.

    I've used spot for several years....yearly price is ridiculous...over $150.00 now...actually met a spot rep while headed to Colorado last month who said they have a new device that sends and receives text due out soon....I assume similar to inreach but he says better......yea ok....we have sat phones for our offshore tugs at work....think as they get smaller I'll take that instead. As I only check in with family....one of the adventure races I do require spot for tracking and safety so may still need to shell $ out or just rent.

    I prefer the Delorme InReach unit for a myriad of reasons.

    A PLB is best for me. That's what matters to me.
