Obviously he can't speak for himself, but I would have to say that even though this was probably an accident--at least it proved the SPOT Satellite Messenger worked like it was suppose to. It is quite an impressive little gadget. I agree. I think Steve probably hit the button somehow.

If you read the full story, they say that Steve may have leaned against something activating the device without knowing it, and by the sounds of things, it would take a unique set of circumstances to set it off. Great little device, and they're already saving lives, but I think this is a case of the user needed to be sure that they don't set it off unknowingly.

I like how you can track progress with google maps. Tech as with anything is going to have the occasional hiccup. I like how you can track progress with google maps.

I also signed up for the Spot Giveaway. I still trust their products. These things do happen with anything ,though, on rare occasions. Yeah, I was a bit freaked out when I first started reading the article on the Backpacker Blog. I agree. I also signed up for the Spot Giveaway. I still trust their products.

It is good to know how quickly everyone reacted to the situation and that Steve was ok. Malfunctions are not good.
