    Customers like the accuracy of the location tracker. For example, they say it gives them the exact coordinates and a map to where it is. They also say it helps keep an accurate account of the locations.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the location tracker. Some mention that it was perfect and did exactly what they needed it to, while others say that it doesn't work anywhere the device can pick up a signal. The tracking function is accurate, but some customers say that the real-time tracking of SPOT is a joke. The service is an added charge, and the tracker is almost useless when it loses its signal.

    40 customers mention27 positive13 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the location tracker. Some mention that it's straightforward, easy to set up, and activate. However, others say that it is cumbersome, hard to set it up, has poor instructions, and is finicky.

    "...The set up process was easy, although set aside some time to enter your contacts and set up predefined messages. The bluetooth to phone is great...." Read more

    "...The Spot Trace was easy to activate and pretty much ready to use within minutes of receiving it...." Read more

    "...On finishing my hike I found the device had turned itself off. No tracks were dropped for the entire hike...." Read more

    "...x for one year and in my experience is a good device, the battery can last about 3 days using 10 min tracking 8 hours per day, the signal something..." Read more

    "...Now onto the bad part:1. It uses AAA batteries...." Read more

    32 customers mention4 positive28 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the service provided by the location tracker. They mention that the messaging is very slow, the uploading of data to the satellites can take a very long time, and the functions are slow. The Bluetooth range is very limited, and it does not send messages always. When it moves outside, the signal is tracked with a certain delay. Overall, customers are disappointed with the performance of the product.

    "...more than 10 min, the problem of this device is to pair whit gps signal could be delayed...." Read more

    "...battery status is only reported when low• speed is not reported•..." Read more

    "...It freezes occasionally. And it can take a very long time to upload data to the satellites...." Read more

    "...The keys are small, (it is a full QWERTY keyboard) and typing in messages takes a little longer than on a smartphone...." Read more

    I like not having to use a phone to message!
    5 Stars
    I like not having to use a phone to message!
    I already have several SPOT Gen 3's, so it made no sense to go to a different service.I like that I CAN use the Bluetooth and attach my phone to it, but I really like that I don't HAVE to attach my phone to it. Yes, the buttons are small. Yes, the backlighting could be better, but being able to message directly from the device is most important to me. And so far, the battery life is as advertised!I did go with the yearly unlimited message (and rescue) plan, but I spend a LOT of time out in the middle of nowhere.... I've only had it a few weeks, and I would have blown past the message limit easily. Does everyone need that plan? No. Everyone needs to look at where they go, and how much they need to message.This is a nice product. It boots up quicky and after an initial satellite find, it locks on really quickly. I know this will vary from location to location, but so far it's only taken a few minutes to get GPS. And it usually (again, this can vary widely), takes only a few minutes to send and receive texts to and from the SPOT.I would definitely recommend this to anyone that already has other SPOT devices, and needs the ability to text directly from the device. And if this is your first tracking/satellite device, you can't go wrong.I do sort of wish it had a AA battery back up, but I just carry a 10000 mAh pack. Make sure you have the charge cable though.Overall thoughts:Great piece of gear if you get remote. It makes it easy to keep my family in the know to where I'm at with the tracking function, and if I need them, or they need me, it's just a text away.I'm already trying to talk my hunting party into get one....I would definitely recommend this item, and buy it again.
