I had a Spot 2 for backpacking at one point but returned it. The cost of the device + the annual subscription + what it really provided did not equate to what I really needed.
While I have 5Star on my phone(the same that is in motor vehicles). That first responders can get my medical info/emerg. contact info from. I am not satisfied with 5Star. I already got in a shouting match with them. Because, Until I demanded to talk to a supervisor. They wouldn't accept my physical address, and refused to put my bike in the 'vehicle' portion of the profile.
I have three lifelong physical neurological health conditions. That aren't exactly 'chicken feed', when it comes to severity.
I want someone to be able to find me if something happens, and I can't contact anyone on the emerg. contact list.
