Use GLONASS signals for better positions
I use SPOT Gen3 in Europe for hiking and the GPS satellites are often too few. Why don't you intergrate GLONASS into your system? It would double the number of usable satellites!

Send altitude with coodinates , for 3D position
With position coordonates, send 4 digits showing ALTITUDE, its an info available from GPS for free

Real time tracking & messaging
For flying we need mostly speed, altitude and track. Messaging via smart phone and real time tracking in remote areas would be more than helpful for our ground crew.

We need a better way of labelling (marking) the various function buttons on SPOT gen3
The function buttons on our SPOT gen3 have all rubbed clean - no labels visible. Fine for my wife who uses it regularly but hopeless for me who uses it only once or so in a blue moon - no idea what button to press to say I'm OK or to track etc etc. Perhaps colour-coded buttons or deeper etching and better inking of the label icons into the surface of each button? (otherwise a brilliant device, thanks!)

Automatic event driven distribution of messages. (Automated landing message on aircrafts)
Send automatically a message if the speed drops below defined speed for more than 1 minute. This could be used for automated landing message of aircraft, aircraft logbooks, automatic tracking.

unhappy still
My idea is to for you to accurately map my data points at the time interval I have specified. I have it set to 5 minutes and the last tracking was done at the 10 minute interval. Also you say that the Gen 3 has a motion detector in it so it will only send data points when I am moving.,..,.,.,.,.,well if you look at my last track there was a time when the bike was not moving but 4 datapoints were still transmitted. I am not very happy with you folks

Make it easier to open coordinates in google maps.
The coordinates in the shared page are very difficult to copy and paste into a mapping application. The coordinates that get sent via text are also hard to use, and not in the correct format to past into google maps. On both the texts, as well as the shared page, the coordinates should be a hyper link which allows you to open them in the mapping application of your choice, to make it easier to drive there.
I fly hang gliders cross country. We use retrieval drivers to chase us and find us in remote areas. It’s very hard to…

Warn me if I am not currently financial.
I work in extremely remote desert areas all the time, and I am disturbed that you don't notify users if they are not currently financial. This is actually life-threatening and you should take it much more seriously as it is your duty of care.

Better activation instructions.
You should say to hold the power button down until it flashes to power on. You do say this to power off however.
Please state exactly which number is ESN and Authorisation code as it
too hard to work out! There is three numbers on the side of the box or bottom of the box if you stand it up. there are also two other numbers on two separate pieces of paper inside. So from your instructions it is one of the numbers on those pieces of paper but the format of having a dash after the first digit is…3 votes -
Kosten für ein ganzes Jahr !
Da ich das Gerät nur bei größeren Touren benötige wäre es schon, wenn man nur für die Zeit in der man es nutzt bezahlen müsste.
Rest des Jahres ist das Gerät nungenutzt.

Uk OS Grid coordinates instead of Satalite
Sometimes it’s more effective to use my local UK OS 6 or 8 figure grid system for locations rather than sattalite coordinates. And have the ability to change this on the fly with a mobile app
