I was looking at that same one. I'm thinking about putting it on my Holiday list as well.

What really got me thinking about it was my last ride I went out to the west side of the GSL and started thinking about it and it would easily be days before anyone came along, some of the areas if I had wrecked and was unable to walk it could easily be weeks before someone came by. The closest help would have been Delle and that was a good 30+ miles away (not far on a bike, but quite a haul on foot...especially if injured).
EXACTLY! Being able to send an email (predetermined verbage) to everyone on your list would be super nice.
I like how you can send your friends and family a link to your SPOT track and they can follow your travels. Your friends can see exactly where you are and you can check in, letting them know you are fine, or that you need their assistance, or in a emergency hit the SOS button and alert rescue crews.
Same, I'm finding my self riding solo more than I like. I've actually been thinking of picking up a second bike so my brothers will come ride with me

The SPOT is much cheaper than a second bike though.

I'm pretty sure that any services that are used are your financial responsibility. I know you can purchase an additional service for $7.95 a year that covers rescue costs up to $100,000...that will be on my list for sure.
