Almost exactly a year ago, I received my first SPOT Messenger. Today during my lunch break, I headed to REI and purchased the new SPOT II Satellite GPS Messenger. Spot is offering a rebate to existing customers to upgrade to the new device and extend their service for another year, so I figured since I would be renewing my service anyway, I may as well get the new device for a discounted price π
The new SPOT offers a better GPS chipset than the previous model and has some extra buttons which makes it easier to use. I also like the fact that the SOS and Help buttons are covered so that you can’t accidentally press them. The smaller size is also nice, too. With spring finally arriving here in Western Colorado, I’m sure I’ll be heading out in the Jeep and using the new SPOT pretty regularly.
If you want to know more about the new SPOT, check out their website here.

After finishing up my Colorado GPS Tracks page just over a week ago, I got started working on the Utah page. It’s not quite done yet, but a majority of the tracks I have are posted up there. I’m hoping to finish it up over the next couple of days. The permanent link can be found on the right side of each page on this website, or you can click here:
Utah GPS Tracks
Like the Colorado page, itΓ’β¬β’s a quick and easy way to help you find GPS tracks and plan for your trips. All of the tracks are provided in both the GPX format and for Google Earth (KML).
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. Also let me know if there are any problems with any of the links.
12/31/09: Updated the Moab | La Sal Mountains Area tracks
1/2/10: Finished adding my Moab | Island Area tracks……the Utah page is complete now! π

If you’ll look over on the right hand side of this page (actually, every page on this website), you might notice a new section called ‘Trail Information’ right below the random image. I have been working on this project on and off for quite a while, and have finally got enough of my GPS tracks organized and uploaded….so I figured it was time to post up my first page there: Colorado GPS Tracks.
This first page is dedicated to all of the trails that I have run in Colorado. It’s a quick and easy way to help you find GPS tracks and plan for your trips. All of the tracks are provided in both the GPX format and for Google Earth (KML). Once I finish up the Colorado page, I will start working on a Utah page.
When you do check it out, you may notice that some tracks are still missing. That’s because I am still working on getting all of my tracks uploaded and added to the page. There are still a number of trails that I haven’t added to the page yet, too, so there is a lot more to come!
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. Also let me know if there are any problems with any of the links.
Enjoy!
Update 12/19/09: I have added tracks for the Uncompahgre Plateau and the San Juan Mountains.
