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

FIX Spot X incompatibility with Inmarsat and Iridium Devices
We originally had a Global Star Sat. Phone. When they discontinued their Monthly Service Plans and forced yearly contacts on us the phone became cost prohibitive as it was only need 3-4 months a year. Global Star suggested the Spot X as an alternative.
Having just text capability to our remote ranch would be acceptable so we chose the Spot X. However, our Partners have Inmarsat devices. We just found out that your device (Spot X) is incompatible with both the Inmarsat and Iridium devices even though we can text to them using regular cell phone service when its’ available. …1 vote -

Spot X must accept AA or AAA batteries as an option without use of powerbank.
Having built-in only rechargeable is not sufficient for and emergency device targeted for outdoors-men and gals crowd.

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…

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.

Stronger Tracking Signal
Increase power for tracking signal. The tracking capability is too weak relative to other trackers.

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

Play a recording when calling a SPOT X phone number
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.

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

Offer more grid system options
This system would be very useful for the military if it used the MGRS system as an option for location. LAT/LON is not as common for ground forces, and is generally not taught.
