SPOT Connect Units now in stock
And for that matter, smartphones know your altitude. A message every
5 minutes that includes altitude would be dramatically more useful than what we have with Spot 1/2 and only cost $1.20/hr. My Spot connect should arrive in a couple days. I'll try to assess if there is a flaw in this idea. You can always power the phone from the ships battery. I understand that the Spot Connect unit returns to AA batteries instead of the stupid AAA batteries that were used in Spot 2 so I wouldn't think that Spot Connect battery life will be an issue -- Spot 1 lasts quite well on the AA lithium batteries.
