To try to get this somewhat back on track, here is the SPOT track from day 2. It was a good ride.

Cool! Looks like we were on the edge of the military's land. That must of been the telcom tower ya?

I want a spot. But that would mean I would have to learn how to use it and I still havent learned how to use my Garmin GPS :banghead:

Wow! I'm sorry! I didn't realize we cut a corner of the Marine Base. We must have crossed in where that sign with the DBA sticker was. :busted:

Here you go 530

That spot is pretty cool, in statistics mode it shows how many miles you went and how fast you was going and it even shows the route direction you traveled. 37.4mph somebody wasn't in 2nd gear :thinking:

How much is the monthly on one of those spot's Cleonard if don't mind me asking?

rezrider · May 20, 2011

Thanks Jackson...now it makes more sense!

cleonard · May 20, 2011

The SPOT may have a GPS in it, but it only sends a position every 10 minutes. On top of that the update doesn't always make it to the satellite. That makes for a trip of a bunch of rather straight segments and it doesn't catch all the actual turns in the trail. The upside is that it is real easy to make those tracks. Just a few clicks and you are done.

That 10 minute thing can make it look like you were where you were not. For example the track that goes through the base. There were no recorded points actually inside the base. It's one of those straight lines in between the actual recorded points.

Sun you can figure out the SPOT. It's real easy. There are only a few functions. It makes for great peace of mind, especially if you ride alone like I do from time to time.

That's probably a good thing. Because that wash we rode up after turning off that crappy road, was in the old bombing range. :naughty:

I was kind of wondering also, since when you switched it to the satellite view, it was rarely close to the trail we were actually on. :devil:

i didnt know you can record your track with a spot. What is it 100 a year? I ride alone occasionally and would be nice to have one.

They want another 50 for the tracking on top of the 100 for the normal service. For another 13 you get 100k (I think) of extraction costs insurance. The units can be had for around 100. I've got the original, but now there is a second generation. They have a new one that works with cell phones allowing you to send text messages. That would be really cool, but I'm sure those messages don't come cheap.
