As we all have been dealing with their shortcommings this last cpl yrs - Globalstar has put up this web page to let us know when to expect service in the area we are planning to be on a given date.

Just punch in your prox location before you take off for the weekend and you would have a cheat sheet for "in service" times.

Not sure how well this will work. I haven't used mine much the last couple yrs - but when I go to use it it doesn't want to work very good at all. Last I used mine I ended up hanging it out the winder and watching the signal bars and once I would git signal I would try to pull over and use it - but then by the time I would git stopped - no signal! ??? Eventually I did git my call made.

(I don't have a cell phone - but then I am hardly ever not here - and when I am gone - it's usually to where there aint cell service.)

They are saying yet aggin that they are launching new sats starting in Jan and have a whole new crew by end on the yr. But then I heard that two yrs ago. ???

I have tried this out, and it helps a little, but is still very unreliable. I have not been able to get out when there is supposed to be a 30 minute window of uptime. These available times also assume a full 360 deg view of the distant horizon. Overall, they are not even worth packing along. I now have a Spot, and am also trying an Iridium this weekend.
