SPOT -- Bad choice of word.   I thought you were referring to the SPOT 
emergency locator satellite sevice.  Then when you started taking about people 
on the Appalachian Trail, I through even more you were referinging to  the 
satellite service.

Perhaps POI   (Point Of Interest as in map databases and Garmin GPS car 
navigators) would be a better term.   Also it saves one character in APRS 
message lines.
