I'd said (snip): I don't think the SPOT device works well for offshore situations, but for coastal and land based activities, it is still a promising device. Craig responded (snip): I would use SPOT for a voyage. The concept is brilliant and seems perfect to allow family to track a yacht's progress to Hawaii or Tahiti. It's only the overlap between the OKAY and 911 functions that are creating confusion. There must be a way to mitigate this without throwing out the baby (float plans) with the bath water. Craig, I was thinking that for offshore, that's a lot of open space to correlate on a Google map. Not sure how big an issue that is or isn't.
