Wrong SPOT and a bad choice of words by Bob. It's more like a POI
(point of interest) being an APRS message-initiated remote object
creation server.. In fact, I'd suggest we call the server POI or
something just to avoid such confusion since many, many people know
about SPOT and that's not really the intent behind Bob's
suggestion. If you've got an APRS-capable radio, you're already
SPOT-ing (tracking), but I believe his intent is to be able to
quickly and easily drop an object HERE that says something like
"RIGHTFORK - I took the Right Fork" (although that requires
knowledge of which direction the POI originator was hiking, so it's
probably a bad example).<br>

Yes. Besides, After going through most of my thoughts, I
realized that a message doesn't include a posit, right? So
the message isn't going to work unless you also force a
beacon, then the server has to link the two.<br>
