What can be more important to an expedition than a means by which it can be tracked and able to notify people in the event of an emergency? SPOT Inc., has provided the team with the world's first satellite messenger that uses GPS to determine a location in the SPOT network to transmit that information to friends, family and an evergency service center. We'll try to get it set up soon, the work with it while training. Ultimately, we will link it to a Google Map so that our progress from Vancouver to Anchorage and beyond can be watched.
