SPOT is the name, safety is the game. A satellite messenger and tracking system for XC pilots. You can 911, send an OK message home (or wherever), or send for help (non life threatening). It also has a 24 hour tracking feature to monitor your GPS track to anyone (you give permission to) with an internet connection for anyone who wants to monitor your progress.

The price on their website is US $169.99 with free shipping (to the US). It is coming soon to Europe, so watch their website for when this happens. A satellite service subscription is also required.
