basic annual plan... no add-ons such as search and rescue insurance which would cover cost of rescue services outside of normal if there is such a thing as normal...

Thanks for the info - this is very helpful.  Let us know how your next "test" goes after all the tweaking.  I may have found the right product based on your test, but I will await your next post after the tweaking check.

Thanks again for the help!

When fishing, a person ought to carry a flask of whisky in case of snakebite. Furthermore, he ought to also carry along a small snake.

A I mentioned you can set up many different profile for the messages that will be sent. Earlier I had duplicated a profile but didn't check all of the tabs and messages for the items; check-in, custom message, and help. So before going on my adventure yesterday I checked everything on the the web-site and filled in the missing contacts and messages.

Then off to the mountains for peak foliage.

Checked-in at the start, the text message popped up on my phone since I had a cell signal at this location confirming that it was sent.

Everything is A-OK, just checking in! Starting my trip now.

I was only out for 2:30 hours so at 10 minute tracking intervals the spot should have sent 15 pings to the map..

I count ten on the map...

The custom message was also sent upon the end of my short trip.

It was received by all parties in a timely manner...

so I feel like everything is working as expected... an extra split ring added to my pack will help keep the Spot facing flat and in a better orientation to the sky.
