I think I saw this posted on another forum. I always worry about shooting some of the waterfalls knowing what could happen.

I am hoping that he recovers fully and gets back to his photography soon. I don't think that all the hand held GPS systems on the market have the 911 feature and it may be something to research before purchasing. Just my 2c

Hey folks! I was part of the group trying to get to Ed that day. Do not confuse the SPOT with a GPS unit. SPOT is ONLT a GPS locator, not a navigator. Oldl model will send three messages- Im ok Help and lastly and most importanly 911. There were four photogs that day making their own trips to these amazing and remote waterfalls. Three of us had SPOT and it saved one mans life. I got lost earlier this year and my wife insisted that I get something that would give her some peace of mind. Now she knows at least if I can press a button I can get some help. Be safe as you can out there everyone!
