Is there a better GPS tracking device for tracking my progress while hiking than SPOT?

I am soon to be thru hiking the Appalachian Trail. I would like to take a GPS tracking device to clip on my pack so my family and relatives can check my progress to insure everything is OK. The SPOT device is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for except, for it has a tendency to lose the satellite signal in deep foliage which covers much of the AT. Know of any similar devices that sustain stronger connection?
