I was trying to fine some kind of device that would track my location as I walk through the trail. Now obviously I can use a phone or a regular gps, but I would like something that can be tracked online. My family worries and would like to know where im at. I dont need the Plb portion like a Spot. I dont want to pay the yearly fee for the 2 times a year it will get used and ill be on the more heavily populated trails. It doesnt look i can use my phone that way without the internet to upload. The gps portion will work just fine though.
On a side note, does anyone have a Galaxy s6? I was wondering what the battery life was like on the trail with the phone in airplane mode and constant tracking. I plan on bringing a battery pack just in case.
Thanks again for any info.
