I just received my new verizon motorola droid. The data plan comes with free gps applications. there are tons of add on apps as well. I found one that could be useful to other pilots. It's called inserty. Basically with two clicks on the screen you can send a text or email with a google map attachment with your location pinpointed on the map.
You can also pick from about ten auto messages. The phone locates where you are within a few meters within a couple of seconds. You just tap the screen and presto my wife gets an email or text saying "I arrived safely in Gainesville" or I'm standing at the corner of blank" It's free and no subscription (other than your phone data plan charge) very similar to what SPOT tracker would do.
I looked at the map that I sent to my wife when I tried it out. It showed an arrow pointing to the parking space that I had used. It's worth taking a look at if you have a google phone or android phone.
