Ya Cariboo the flatlanders that were on the Salt chuck/UP-Chuck with the Rupp brothers were very impressed with the spot locater. Before we left Williams Lake Steve showed me a demo of the locater in his backyard and we zoomed right in and could see the truck in the driveway etc. Right away i thought this would be so cool for the family at home to zoom in on us when back in a remote mountain location and to track our daily progress.
I do wonder though that maybe a year or two down the road that possibly they may come up a text option or something for further messaging for the people receiving the signal at your home PC.
The Fishing,,, I highly recommend Gerry for Fishing.he worked his ass off trying to get us into fish in the high roller waters and Dad was beaming with the Halibut he always wanted to catch on the Ocean.
Steve i have a friend wanting a spot locater that does lots of backcountry mountain biking and winter walk in snowboarding as well.
Cheers and great post Garry.
