I just called Roger, and he said that his copy/paste cut out information. He is going to resend his link again.

Only seven hours too late but like they say better late than never. I urned
on the satellite view and zoomed in pretty close. If it had been me I'd
prefer to have a marker at least every five minutes. There's sure a lot of
mountainous country there to get lost in!

Hi Noel,
You can't change the ten minute updates. That's set by Spot. You can change a lot of personal preferences and make you messages anything you want.
Even if you crash the Spot will have lots of little markers right on that crash site so they will locate your body before the bear does. 
I don't always tell my wife where I'm going to fly that day. She can go to the computer and see where I am or if I already landed. I can send her messages with the Spot, I can send an SOS, but not hurt message or I can call the world to come help me.
I will be going home Friday at approximately 1430 hrs mnt. time so you can see my track again.

I use the spot tracker myself. a most reliable tool. only drawback is the 10 min interval. it always draws a straight line between . so in you are doing some out and back or circles. they don't show up. question. why the northerly arch to the path. you seem to be following the road. the map show just a gray area. what is this. high terrain? restricted space?

Ross,
I checked the VFR Chart using AirNav.com and those areas to the south of the course are Restricted Areas and Military Operating Areas. Not to mention they are nasty desert basin and range where you would not want to have to set down and wait for help. Better to follow the road and take a longer way around.

I would have flown through those restricted areas, but I couldn't get clearance. It is fairly flat terrain with a little mountain here and there. It looks like I flew the road because that is where I-8 is, but I was just trying to stay a little north of the restricted areas in reality.
