Spot Connect.......
 

Picking one up today. Allows you to Bluetooth with your phone and send texts and emails to loved ones. There's also a tracking function so family can get on Google maps and see where you are in the world......it will send "all is OK" signals as it updates the maps. Only probably I see is you can't receive messages back. And of course, it has the emergency "come get me my boat sunk!" Function.

Gearing up for Grand Isle in June!!!!

those seem realy nice for hunting and fishing, is there a monthly charge or what?

$99/year. For as far out in the gulf as I go, seems cheap
