This to me is the best GPS on the market for the outdoor enthusiast. I had used numerous GPS units in the past, but this one is the best. It has the latest in technology, tracks under a canopy, locks into satellites quickly and accuracy is the best i have found, it also has a barometer, altimeter, and fish & game tables. I shopped around and found the best price was from GPS City out of Calgary, they had the best price and the unit came with a 1gb card along with the 64 mb card that comes in the unit this allows you to save maps. I ordered the unit and had it shipped to me, had it in my hands and using it within three days of ordering. They provided excellent service and nobody could match their prices. The unit total cost including shipping was$434.09 and came with a mail in rebate for $50.00. Walmart nor Canadian Tire or anywhere else could match the price plus I got the 1gb card. Fantastic unit!!!!!!!

SPOT is the world’s first and only satellite messenger, a truly unique device. It uses the GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sends its location – with a link to Google Maps™ – as a pre-programmed e-mail message via a commercial satellite network to your friends and family. SPOT can also send the message to the mobile phone.
Unlike a traditional GPS device, which only receives a satellite signal indicating your location, SPOT utilizes dual satellite networks to receive your location as well as transmit it, along with pre-programmed messages, to the recipients of your choice.
Whether you’re just checking in, allowing others to track your progress, or calling for help – SPOT gives you a vital line of communication with your friends, family or workplace when you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. And since it utilizes 100% satellite technology, SPOT works around the world – even where cell phones don’t.
When using Help, Check-in and Track Progress functions, you can pinpoint your location for others or save as waypoints for future reference using email links to mapping from Google Maps™ .
