SpotX should tone when sending SOS
When SOS is activated SpotX could make sound. Then if you could not see the device at least you could hear it

Built in stand for SpotX
SpotX requires the antenna be upright. Most things like stumps ,tables and other things we would normally set Spot down on to send a message are flat. Standing spot is somewhat of a pain in the butt. I taped a triangle shaped piece of plastic to the back of mine

Allow more contacts to be stored on the device
You allow over 200 waypoints but only 70 contacts. I will never use that many waypoints. More contacts would be great

Allow Spot to Spot comm included like predefined messages
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

Pause mode on Spot X NEEDS to be a selectable feature that can be turned off. As it is now, you cannot track while kayaking.
You introduced pause mode while tracking on Spot X recently. And, you forced it on us. While kayaking, since there is no walking vibration, Spot X goes into pause mode within minutes. Rendering tracking while kayaking useless. It is not a feasible solution to suggest that I shake the unit every 15-20 minutes to get it out of pause mode. Make pause mode on tracking with the Spot X an option that can be turned off. I suspect that I'm going to have this same problem long distance biking this summer. PLEASE give me the option to shut pause mode…

Set the time from satellite
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.18 votes -
feedback on spot x
recently completed a 8 day backcountry ultra endurance race. My spot x was set on 30 min tracking. I started out with it inside a phone bag for extra protection but they told me that it wasn't transmitting so I removed it from the bag and it began working fine. the problems I had were: 1. battery only lasted about 3 days and I had to charge it up twice during the event (luckily I had capacity for this) 2. the charging usb cover is very cheaply attached and would come open during the course of the day forcing me…

shared page
I believe it would greatly imptove the confidence in the unit user to know that the tracking is being seen, for example, have the ability for your list of shared users to quickly send you a note/comment within the shared page itself... similar to what Garmins inReach does... nice to have feedback in the field knowing that they have your back...

External antennae for vehicles
I live in Wyoming. I use my SPOTX while out in the bush.. I really need an external antennae.. Right now I have Velcro on the A-pillar of my truck and still lose tracking points.

Extend contact search found under 'Contacts' tile to 'Create Message'
On the 'Contacts' tile, if you press a letter/number on the keyboard, SpotX will bring up a shortlist of contacts starting with that character, making it much easier to find a contact without endless scrolling. Please extend this same search feature to selection of a contact under the 'Create Message' tile (and also everywhere else, like the create message icon in 'Messages', and creation of a predefined message under Messages>Predefined).
*Yes, the workaround is to simply create a message from the 'Contacts' tile. But, it'd be nice to have a consistent UI.
And: thanks, again to the devs for listening…

Global setting for adding GPS coordinates and Altitude to messages
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.

Wireless firmware update
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?5 votes -
SOS Profiles
On the Spot2 and the Gen3 we had ten profiles that we could change which included an SOS profile for that profile you had chosen but on the Spot X you can not so if you hike in one area you would have to delete that and re-write the sos message for that hiking area you are in there is loads of information that you could write in for more support to the GEOS team just for that area no are is the same which I had 10 could you make it so that we could highlight that SOS profile…
