Since it looks like I will be doing some solo long distance rides this year I wanted to try to take care of my biggest fear, which is "what if something goes wrong??" and while researching online I saw the Spot device. It is a portable satellite tracking, general notification and emergency notification device that is supposed to be durable and reliable.
I wanted to see if anyone on here has one and if they used it, how dependable is it. Tried the search function but the keywords (spot satellite messenger) are to vague and I couldn't find anything.
Since it is about $12 per month for the service I want to get as much info as possible before buying it to make sure it is worthwhile or if there is something better for emergencies in remote locations, especially since there are a decent number of roads in the southwest where cell service is bad or non at all.
