Well, I haven't sent a story to you in a few years so here's another
one. You probably won't recall but I was allowed to use one of your
units a number of years ago on a canoe trip with St. John's School
of Alberta. That trip got me hooked on GPS and your store. I have been
teaching a GPS course at night at the college in Thunder Bay for a
number of years, as well as teaching GPS to my Adventure Program students
at the same college. I always reccommend your store and know that you
at least sell some units to people in Thunder Bay. I know that the
Community Programs department has purchased at least 30-40 units. Anyway,
the point of the above is just to say you supported SJSA (and me at
the same time) and I continue to support you.
Here's
the story.
I
recently purchased a SPOT messenger and
went to Costa Rica last week. SPOT has a neat feature wherein friends
and family can see where you are if they look at a site on the Internet. I
took my SPOT unit and my Vista Cx to Costa Rica. While
on a horse ride through the jungle and on some beaches the SPOT unit
fell off and I did not notice the loss until the end of the ride.
I
really did not want to re-trace the horse ride so I used GPS technology
to try and find the lost unit. I
returned to my hotel, entered the SPOT web site and noted the last
location of the unit. I rented a motorcycle, entered the coordinate data
into my Vista Cx and used "go to".
The
Vista took me to within 15 feet of the lost SPOT unit. It seems it
fell off while the horse was climbing a riverbank. I've enclosed
a picture. This picture shows exactly where the unit was. I'm just
feeling a little nervous as really BIG crocodiles live in the river
behind me.
