Used gen 1 SPOT over Canada, Alaska without issues

Pros: Location check in worked for safety.
Cons: Sometimes had a small lag.
Review:
I flew with it over remote mountainous terrain, and, long before Starlink, or other GPS/remote access tech, this worked well to identify my last known location. First generation location check-in's sometimes lagged 1-2 minutes, especially while breadcumbing 300 miles/hour airborne, but it did its job.
