Long distance motorcyclists use the SPOT system almost exclusively. SPOT 1 and SPOT 2 worked well out of the box. SPOT 3 has given people fits. Occasionally tracking, occasionally not. Bottom line there is a firmware update that most people need to do ASAP, and every time you change your findmespot account details. They recommend that after turning it on, you send a message to get it to seek satellites. It does not automatically link up to a satellite when you turn it on and hit the "tracking" button. On longer trips, you need to do that each day apparently. I am a happy SPOT 2 user. No issues. It is linked to SPOTWALLA.COM so my trips are recorded forever, not just the 2 weeks findmespot allows.
