Hey Guys,
I had a previous post in which I asked if anyone used any of the GPS Apps for their Droid or iPhones and got some great responses (see Link below), but also found another cool way to utilize your phone's GPS.

In doing a little more research today to kill the Utah Winter/Springish boredom; I found that the SPOT Emergency Service a lot of people use, now has functionality to work with Droid / iPhones so that you can Send PERSONALIZED MESSAGES (up to 41 characters) to your groups AND Facebook / Twitter accounts etc. instead of just the pre-determined messages.
It works almost identically to the Delorme PN60w, but instead of paying $380 (Amazon.com)- $550 (Cabelas.com) you can get the SPOT Connect for up to $300 less versus the Delorme PN60w. All you need is the SPOT Connect ($130 -$170 with Google search).
This is a great alternative to use your phone as a Multi-Tasker (Phone, Camera/Video, Trail Camera Picture Viewer, GPS, SPOT Messenger/SARs, Calculator..ha ha) and maybe save a little weight / money on those deep back country hunting trips by utilizing ONE DEVICE instead of a few.
Just thought I would pass along the info on my find...
