Justin posted a great link in his Rally thread regarding Spot Trackers For Android based phones, dealing with an an app called Bubbler GPS (https://bubblergps.com/).
I downloaded the APP onto my Samsung Galaxy G3 phone and then fooled with Spotwalla to get the two synchronized.
After about 30 minutes of frustration I made a run to Rapid City to pick up a car for a friend. The damn thing didn't seem to want to work at first, Bubbler was running and points were being recorded but not being sent to my just created Spotwalla account.
After ffing with it and saving the setup info a few times all of a sudden it worked.
No it is not a sattelite based communication system but it works when you have cell service and as Verizon covers 99% of the country, and this is free, it seems "good enough for me.
