Thanks, I never bothered to learn the difference (borrowed the SPoT from a friend because it was available). The SPoT does work in thick tree cover (we sent updates from Sequoia NP, lots of tree cover) and canyons (Kings Canyon NP with rather thick smoke hanging in the air), but took 10 minutes to do so. I also sent from deep inside a Vegas casino, no windows in sight and several floors above us. Granted, it took about 30 minutes to send that time but it did eventually send.
