SPOT could be handy for us that snowmobile, atv, and 4x4 in the snow and non-snow.... great if you need a spare part and want to save time from hiking hrs then driving hours. You could use SPOT to alert for 'help' or you rown custom canned txt like 'need parts'. This could come in really handy. Although you could always use a radio for this too.
It will be interesting to see where this technology goes.
