FWIW, current SPOT is http://tinyurl.com/FlyingPigSPOT. Still trying to

Thanks for the link. I'll bookmark it so I can tune in for a good laugh at
you sailing up and down the Interstate highways.

Sorry, Wilbur, there will be no more of that. We've left, and once we get
to the Bahamas, don't expect to be back in the States until we get off the

two "messages" (location points) before it stopped.

Still testing, still trying to make sense of their FAQ, instruction, and
help files and Lydia's not-very-patient repetition of what she does which
