I was using the RoadID app on all my charity rides to let my wife know where I was at any time during the ride. I now use Cyclemeter which I can set to notify her by time or distance. Works just as good as Garmin Live Track.
I'm traveling from the Treasure Coast to the Orlando Hilton, right near Sea World. I'm planning on going up the east coast, then taking 192 west until I get to St. Cloud. Then I'll take back roads and the Florida Trail. The area between Melbourne and St. Cloud is rural, and I'm not sure about cell coverage there.
