I was given a free one by our local SPOT rep so he could put me on his website. He also gave one to Zack, the 17-tear-old who sailed his boat around the world.  The SPOT always worked for me.  You have to be sure that you have a clear sky above and wait for the indicator lights to confirm that the message has been sent.  It gave my wife real peace of mind and she could actually see satellite pictures of my location.
 
Have a good hike.

I intend to purchase a Spot device for next year's thru-hike. But I have read mixed reviews, particularly as far as its reliability is concerned.
I'd be glad to read whatever feedback you may provide on the Spot device and services.
Thank you,
Philippe
