Only seven hours too late but like they say better late than never. I urned on the satellite view and zoomed in pretty close. If it had been me I'd prefer to have a marker at least every five minutes. There's sure a lot of mountainous country there to get lost in!

From: "Roger Lee" Hi Noel, You can't change the ten minute updates. That's set by Spot. You can change a lot of personal preferences and make you messages anything you want. Even if you crash the Spot will have lots of little markers right on that crash site so they will locate your body before the bear does. [Rolling Eyes] I don't always tell my wife where I'm going to fly that day. She can go to the computer and see where I am or if I already landed. I can send her messages with the Spot, I can send an SOS, but not hurt message or I can call the world to come help me. I will be going home Friday at approximately 1430 hrs mnt. time so you can see my track again. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
