I used to get the basic service on my SPOT, just a quick message to a few folks to let them know I'm ok every evening. Now the SPOT people make tracking mandatory, and I have a few questions.
Alan Gage used tracking last year and it was nice to follow. So Alan, (or anyone else), do I need to keep the spot on all day to have the tracking function to work?
Can I just turn the device on every once in a while to get the tracking to work with a decent "track" of my route? .
Is it hard to figure out how to get the tracking set up to work on Facebook and just sent to my "friends".
If I leave the SPOT on all day, will one set of back up batteries be enough for a week-10 days?
Thanks for any advice.
