I was, and I do, but our OP pm'ed me and did get my advice, so I'll reiterate what I told him.

Yes, I use a PLB, not a SPOT - for me this is probably the best option - I don't have a real need for family to track my every move, and would prefer the "works anywhere" for the real PLB.

If I had a worrisome better half, I'd consider the SPOT instead - the ability to send "i'm ok" being much more important than "I'm in deep doo doo.."

What I told the Mark was "What would get you out more" - and I think considering that he chose the SPOT - right choice for him.
