Great ideas. I was planning to get a Spot. I don't see myself going to places without cellular service but I like the idea of carrying it on my person just in case the worst happens and I get separated from my phone.
I have grown to really like Google Maps for it's real-time traffic and, most recently, their inclusion of Waze-like (well, Waze really since Google bought them) speed trap and accident reporting but have always worried about becoming separated from my phone in an accident. I don't like the idea of fiddling with the gadgets though so a 2nd device set to whatever I need at the moment (weather or whatever) seems to make sense.
PS - I hope you all don't think I'm hijacking this thread. I think my questions are pertinent because the 2nd device I'm considering could be my wife's old iPad mini.
