Sometimes I run APRS on the bike. Picture is waiting for the ferry from Deer Island, NB to Eastport, ME in August 2007 (coming back from the Salty Fog Rally and meeting with other friends in NS).
The problem with APRS as a tracker is that there aren't enough relay stations in rural areas. Spot does a much better job.

It's the northeastMy friend in Phoenix can use a hand-held the whole state-even to LA.
It used to be extremely active 15 years ago. I had a digipeater here in Braintree, but when it got so congested, I suppose most folks moved to the net, like me.
I've had a weather station online for a long time and it does feed the APRS WX net.
