I recently purchaced a SPOT. One thing I noticed on a "test run" of it where I went to Mt. Rainier snowshoing was none of the times I pressed the "check in" button while in a moving vehicle did it successfully send. However, I did press it 3 times while snowshoing. The first two were successfull and the third failed, probably because I went indoors before it successfuly got a location fix.

I'll be using the SPOT to "check in" regularly during my hike of the WLT this summer. If I can get my site reading the e-mails I'm going to have sent to it properly I'll be tyring to set up a public viewable map with all my check ins on it. (The map the SPOT advertises it displays them on is actualy google maps with the GPS cords sent in the URL.)
