I explained it to him and also the fact that I have a 3,500 mile trip planned that begins on August 1. I told...

    SPOT Emergency Contact List

    I think the Spot has a hard time transmitting through tree canopy or receiving GPS signals through trees. But the new Spot 2 has a better GPS antenna which may solve part of this problem. It also may be important that the Spot antenna be pointing UP, rather than being in the vertical position...

    SPOT Emergency Contact List

    This is a great idea. Thanks for grabbing it and running with it RenoJohn. I am in, and will help out with testing any way I can. Earlier in this thread there were questions about where a Spot can be located and still work. Mine works very well from inside my tank bag, buried under several...

    CFO 2009 Route Maps

    I have a Garmin 378 and I can't find my cable which I need in order to install the route files. Will anyone at CFO have a cable that will work on the 378, and a computer?

    Location of 2009 CFO

    Just to be clear, I, Jackson, did not refer to any big blow up. Rad is referring to someone else. Let's move on to the future and keep this thread on track--voting on the location for the next CFO. So far "Other" only has 7% of the votes, so most likely it will be either MN, WI, or SD.
