I'm considering adding a "breadcrumb" device to my kit. A TRACE is smaller, lighter, and cheaper than SPOT Gen3 for GPS based tracking. I would rely on an existing EPLB for any "Come and Get Me" needs.
But, SPOT Trace is designed to keep track of physical assets, not people –
"SPOT TRACE is not designed to be attached or worn on a person's body. SPOT TRACE should only be used when located at least 20 cm (7.0 inches) away from the human body"
Has anyone used this is the top pocket of a pack?
Should work on top of a pack, but there's a $100 per year service fee. Or $200 if you want 'fancy'. Do you really need this? OK, in some cases such as going solo and leaving worrying partner behind, I can see some benefit. It might get you 'permission' :-) IF it works as promised – SPOT Gen I and Gen II were not all that reliable, as we found in our tests. Cheers
$100/year for 30 minute breadcrumbs is the cheapest I could find. It would get used 200+ days a year. Anyone got one of these in a pack?
