SPOT Tracker Reporting Gaps

After picking up a few postcards and finishing up breakfast in Wellsboro, I set off west on 362 and 6 to pick up route 144 south in Galeton. I followed that all the way to down towards Moshannon where I picked up 879 to Karthaus.

But for someone like Kenny who was following my SPOT tracker, you wouldn’t have known that even though I have the tracker set to ping every 10 minutes.

I’m not sure why my SPOT started smoking crack in this particular area. If heaven forbid I really needed it during this leg, no one would’ve know where I actually was. That kind of defeats the purpose.

I didn’t move the device or do anything differently with it during this leg. Maybe central PA is the event horizon.

    I’ve noticed gaps before depending on the orientation of the device. When carried in a pocket, the orientation was vertical and possibly somewhat directional depending on which way I was facing. On my current trip, I have it mounted to the bike (I know, far from ideal) but no gaps with the “face” straight up like recommended by Spot. Well some gaps when I forget to turn on tracking…
