[pct-l] GPS vs PLB

[Bill Burge]

Not sure I understand.

You can do it with a GPS IF you add that data when you get access to  
the Internet.

The SPoT will do it while you are on the trail.

Am I missing something?

For the original poster:

What you will also find is that those who worry about you will worry  
less.  Then they will enjoy checking in periodically to see where you  
are and what you're "doing".  They will tell friends ad before you  
know it - you will have a fan club.  This happened to me on a cross  
country DRIVE of all things.  From Atlanta to LA and when we left  
Phoenix - we had over a dozen friends and family following!
