Got the Spot II

Wow, it's small.  Kind of amazing how this little GPS unit can send positioning information to low orbit satellites.

I've already customized my customizable messages and made a few runs around town for a fitting.  Wearing it on my arm will be fine.

Check-in message is: Pausing to take it all in, replenish, or to bother someone... (check-in message)
Custom message is: All is well. Stopping for a while or turning off tracking indefinitely.
Help message is: I'm okay, but I need roadside assistance at my GPS location. I don't have phone support.

I'll assume the "SOS" button works.  I don't see a description of how to test this.  I've setup my wife as the primary, and an experienced motorcycle friend as the secondary.  I setup emails to go out, and text messages for the HELP messages.
