Enjoying my new membership status, "junior member". Beeing more than 60 it is some time since I was given the title junior *GG*

Back to topic. When I do my trips in nature, I walk in a aera that has no coverage for mobile phones. There are no people and ways of communicating other than by satellite. The SPOT is usable here in Norway, but we are at the edge of reception. Nice feature of tracking by google earth. It gives a smaller area to search if necessary.

The Iridium system has more world wide coverage. If there was a device that could send OK messages and prerecorded text such as "OK but late one day" using iridium system, I would believe it could have great sales.
