I have a spot and here is how it works. Depending on the subscription you have it can track automaticly every 10 minutes as well as whenever you press the ok button. It appears that he did not opt for the auto tracking or just is not activating it and each point marked he is doing manually pressing the OK button.

There are 5 buttons on the spot that will mark your GPS point, one is a tracking option that reports your position every 10 minutes, One is the OK button that is what Dave appears to be using and send your position when pressed, Another that is a custom message (Wooo Hooo fish on, Bull Elk down! Whatever you pre-program), Another that is a help button that is also a custom message button that is requesting assistance from specific pre-determined people, and the last one is the SOS button that is for serious emergiencies.

Appears to me he has just had a change of plans and all is ok so far. Crossing over land like he did he would have had access to phones and should have in my opinion had someone post here as to what has happened since he has set it up for so many people to follow his trek.
