The good news is when you get back to camp and a family of bears is living in your tent and enjoying your food supply you can send an emergency message via SPOT on the Globalstar satellite phone system. And while you are awaiting for assistance you can dictate your Last Will and Testament via a text message. Or perhaps just buy a reliable phone like the Iridium and face danger like God intends a man to do. gpscity.ca

Things change. Before the Alaska gateway was built, coverage was not so good, then it was good, then it was bad as satellites died, then nearly nil. It depends on when you gained your experience. <Personal experience working in remote locations using sat phones, both globalstar and Irridium is what tells me which system is better > It was obviously when the Globalstar system was failing, unless you are meaning way back in Y2K before the Alaskan gateway [or about that time]. Is it a problem to say what year you gained your experience of Globalstar? Mqurice
