Guys......
I generally do a bit of bush offroading/exploring during my days off during the week and the missus gets a bit concerned that if something was to happen, how would she know where I was & how to locate me...... So, I thought I would post up here to get others ideas / suggestions on what's out there that I could possibly use.
I know of the SPOT device that was shown to me by another fellow PP member (outdoorgaz) and I need to research it a bit more as I also believe there is a annual fee involved. One advantage with these is apparently u can set up individual TEXT messages for different scenarios.... I don't really want the personal EPIRB but would consider one of these if I couldn't find anything else suitable... Obviously, I also want to use this on our annual family remote touring trips....
So.... what other options are there out there and what sort of fees (if any) are included...... ???
cheers....
