Already posted but I want to reiterate - the USB cover is not secure and falls out easily. I can't lose this out on the boat and still have a waterproof secure device. It need to have a more positive connection, something similar to a Garmin chartplotter would be great.

in-depth video on how the compass works and how to use it on the SPOTX.

You allow over 200 waypoints but only 70 contacts. I will never use that many waypoints. More contacts would be great

Gen 3 and Tracker are supported by RAM Mount brackets. Please work with RAM Mount to add a bracket for SPOT X

Make the SPOTX where it can recharge from the son as an option.

Currently the only navigation options are in Degrees. UTM is so much easier to use, Should be an option.. Degrees and their variants just suck for map work

Just a nice-to-have: most of the time, I send my lat/lng and alt when texting from my Spot X. It'd be if there was a global setting to check these boxes by default when I create a new message (and I could then uncheck them manually for a specific message).

I want to thank the Spot X devs for listening to customer feedback. You've been really responsive in incorporating our ideas and I really appreciate it.

When messages are sent to email if you open the second link on your phone. It opens Google maps which will show where you are in relation to the pin sent from Spot. Would be great to have this link sent to phone recipients.

This should be an easy one, but very important. When someone phones the Spotx number it should not say the number is disconnected or no longer in service.

If messages between Spot devices were included like predefined messages(no cost) then friends of people with Spot would be more likely to purchase Spot to communicate with each other

What I expected: Time would set itself periodically from the satellite(s)

What happened: The device continually showed it was 2010

Details: To save battery, this could happen on first power-on after syncing, then only whenever contact with the GPS happened.
I'd expect several "levels" of configuration:
1) Get everything from the satellite, use my location to find the right timezone.
2) Let me specify the time zone.
3) Let me specify everything.

have the spotx device be able to track after pushing the button whether it feels movement or not.

So we pay for all spam received. Blacklisting is useless since spammers change the numbers they send from.
Provide option to whitelist all contacts and every phone number we have sent a message to, blocking others.
Remember in an emergency, we need to permit messages from an unknown SAR or park staff. How would that work in the field without a web interface? Best to automatically turn off spam prevention after SOS button is pressed.

J'aimerais savoir quand les guides en français seront disponibles afin de pouvoir bien utiliser mon spotx car actuellement j'ai des difficultés à comprendre l'anglais.

I just paid for a SPOT X, then paid for activation , and for a service plan, and for GEOS … and cannot use my device because my computer’s OS is too old to manage the firmware updatefile. So I need to buy a new computer, or find a friend.
Surely any device that can communicate by satellite can be tweaked to support wireless firmware update?

I'm so tired of running my copy of the downloader, connecting, and being told I have to manually download a new version because mine is out of date. This happens not on occasion but all the time. Please download a new version and install it automatically.

When choosing a previous message thread to send another message if there was more than one person in the original message it will only select one recipient. It should send to the same group of recipients

My SpotX seems to take a while to load messages when there is alot in the message thread. Need to be able to set auto delete for 5 or 10 messages
