Beep on new message.

There should be an option to beep every (1/5/10/30 minutes) when there is an unread message.

This would seem so simple to implement and so obviously necessary that it should have been done already.

I don’t want to check the spot 300 times a day, but I DO want to know if a plan has changed.

It should also have an option to beep if a message you sent has not been marked as sent within 60 minutes - so you can attend to getting better signal.

I want is to see the route in a timely fashion. The new system has only dots connected which gives you a big spider net but in the old system the dots were numbered so you could follow the directions easily.

Trying to find anything is not intuitive. Roll back the software to a earlier version, or give users to choice of installing the older software.

As a backpacker every ounce counts so extra batteries for me are a down fall for this satellite messenger. I’d like to see an internal battery with an external charging port that I could recharge with battery bank or solar panel.

Mapping is complicated and frustrating. Neither I, nor my viewers, want to spend hours trying to figure out how to use your new platform. Simplify things. The shared page should have some VERY SHORT instruction as to how to view things. The average viewer will likely give up trying to see where the asset is on a given day. Will likely not renew my subscription ( had it for nearly 10 yrs).

I’d love to be able to switch my plan via my account page. You seem to have an account management system that is stuck in the 1990s.

These products are widely sold across Canada yet you don’t offer plans in Canadian dollars.. as Canadian users we are getting burned on exchange rates like crazy! We are supporting your product and helping you line your pockets, help us... help us not have to empty are pockets so much to use these devices. Please start to offer Canadian dollar pricing! Or at the very least offer outside of US customers a discount of some sort.

Started trying to set up my new Spot X more than 2 hours ago. I'm still working on it, and I don't think I'm close to done. The documentation you published is substandard where it isn't outright misleading. The whole thing seems deliberately designed to be as confusing as possible. I've managed to turn it on and pay for an account. Nothing after that has worked as expected.

It is called "usability testing". You missed that step. The new mapping software is the brainchild of some manager who does not have a clue. I learned a long time ago that if you have to spend $2 to keep an existing customer happy, you have to spend $5 to acquire a new customer. Really bad idea irritating your customers. You do realize that most customers who are unhappy do not complain. They just move on.

When your account is suspended and you update the firmware, the sync step errors out. Instead of an error message, inform the user that the Sync option cannot be performed while the account is suspended.

A tutorial on how to use the compass would be very helpful.

Please update firmware to be able to automatically send coordinates with text messages without needing to check location box every time. It is so easy to overlook when sending a message. Should be able to set it one way or the other and forget it!

Create an Essential Minimum plan. I was willing to pay $ 50 annually for 20 messages and the SOS service

I would like to be able to see other SPOT X users in my hiking party on the topo map. This may be a security concern, but if each of us gave permission to see each other's location, that would be incredible and an advantage over your competitors.

It would be nice if a multiple message(s) received (from a long worded, single message) were listed in chronological order, especially on the app.

Instead of a lot of text in the email, just show the long & lat, that is really all that is needed, and I can maintain a log of this easily.

I would like to have the ability to add elevation to my waypoints via My Account.

Location pins should be numbered on mapping. I previously had spot connect and my wife could log in to see where I was on her iPhone. Now all she sees is dropped pins

Bad software
Could you please put a column off to the Left that shows who each # or email belongs too? Maybe also add an address book I can easily click on a name and add it to my contacts. I would like to be able to enter the info once then be able to access it when I need to change it?
