I often ride in places where there's no phone coverage. Frequently in places where I don't encounter too many passers-by either.
So I bought one of these:

So if I end up broken and wounded up shit creek somewhere, at least they'll know where to find my corpse [laugh]

If all you see is: "No displayable messages found for feed".... means there's been no activity recorded the last 7 days. Try again later :)
Does it work on Mars?

Yep that is why I'm practising cleaning a real shiny gun in the nude on the front porch! [laugh]
I microchip would be less embarrassing......for me! ;)
Cool, I wish it gave a few more details, like distance traveled in total/between updates.

Yeah, that would be good. Guess it would only be a vague indication anyway since all it does is record "as the crow flies" between each check-in.
Also I notice that even though its supposed to transmit a location check-in every 10 minutes, it goes missing under heavy tree coverage. There was a couple of check-ins a half hour or more apart.
I use one of these while i am backpacking. I have been thinking of carrying it on my motorcycle. They are nice because there is the emergency button if something really bad happens but there are a couple ways to send emails from it.

BTW Ungerheuer, I ripped off your Ducati colours theme in your sig! Hope you don't mind.
Imitation is said to be the best form of flattery! LOL!

So are you going to explain your new nomenclature Ung... whoops, I mean Captain.
Inquiring followers want to know. ;)

Allow me...
Ung came into TOSAT, and other threads in NMC, today doing his best pirate impression.
I have a young son that watches a show on Sprout called The Wiggles.
The Wiggles are a group of guys from OZ that have made a career, and a ton of money, doing kids entertainment.
They have a character named, coincidentally, Captain Feathersword.
Since the show was on the tv right behind me, and that character was on the screen, I felt obligated to misuse my moderator powers and change his name.
I'm sure he'll change it back when he's done being a pirate. ;D
