Spot GPS Tracker and Satellite Messenger

Love this gadget for my outdoor trips and just for peace of mind on the road. Hint: give it 20 minutes to uplink!
It is not a full featured Personal Locator Beacon, but very useful nevertheless.
For example you can easily geotag all your pictures simply by setting your camera time to GMT and after you come back home download .gpx file of your trip from Spot website into the same directory where you keep pictures of the trip. Now use GPicSync and photos are all geotaged!
You can even share your adventure on internet like this!
The original version of Spot GPS Tracker won 2008 WSJ Technology Innovation Award.
New updated version of Spot GPS Tracker and Satellite Messenger just hit on-line stores...
