Don't know if anyone noticed, but he's shaved off 2.5 hours off Cavedog's time so far, by starting later in the day before catching the train out of Needleton. I think based on the openness of Cavedog's record breaking run and the ability to build off of Cavedog's route/plan success, he very well may break the record if he stays healthy and the crew can keep up with him.

Occasionally the SPOT will put out a tracking point that is off location due to interference (trees/rocks/etc) and so each and every "track" location can't be trusted. The "check-ins" are usually much more accurate.

Yeah, like Otina said there's often interference. The front of the unit has to be facing skyward in order for it to transmit properly so a lot of times the tracking feature will give anomalous location readings -- especially if the user is under a tree canopy or in narrow canyons.
