Default SPOT GPS

Looked at my crew's received SPOT messages today. Distance to the
nearest town is now included. It wasn't when SPOT was first
introduced.
Also on the website is an improvement to the "911" function: The
ability to enter a couple of contact names and numbers. Didn't see
that when I first logged on.
Does anyone know the battery life of these things in and out of
"Spotcasting" mode?
