I bet there are several of us here on the forum that would lend one to him if we weren't using them at the time of his trip.

Thank you. I have been thinking about buying one. Can you recommend one?. Of course it will only work if he's 1. prepared to use it and 2. has a means of recharging it.
Check In: Let family and friends know you're ok when you're out of cell phone range. Send a pre-programmed text message with GPS coordinates or an email with a link to Google Maps™ to your contacts with your location. With a push of a button, a message is sent via email or SMS to up to 10 pre-determined contacts and your waypoint is stored in your SPOT account for later reference. Your stored waypoints can be easily integrated into a SPOT Shared Page or SPOT Adventure account.

Nothing to stop others taking this responsibility unto themselves. I don't buy into the whole "trip leader" philosophy.
