Hello. The SPOT unit does need line of site to the sky so it would need to be either on the handlebars or mounted some other way (which I am investigating a few ideas...) There is not a remote antenna option at this time. There is a new mounting system (I have been told) being built in to the...

Hi all. Just thought I'd mention another alternative to the GPS (with different user needs)...the SPOT Satellite Personal Messenger. I am an international dealer for SPOT and someof you may have read the dialog in the SPOT topic within the forum. The SPOT product is a transmit-only device (no...

Hi Fred. The SPOT does receive its GPS signals directly from the governments GPS satellite which coordinates are then sent via the SPOT up to Globalstar's satellites and back to the Gateways for routing all pertinent information to the receiving party(ies). GEOS in Houston, TX, the...

Good morning and Happy New Year! To my knowledge they will NOT be making any changes you have addressed. This device is strictly a transmit-only device (with the only exception being the GPS signals received). A confirmation message would require integration of a receive function which then...

Thanks! I missed it.

Hello again. Just went onto REI's web site and could not find the SPOT product anywhwere. Just FYI. (As I mentioned earlier, the profit margin is slim with these so it is possible they have decided not to carry them anymore. I'll keep checking their web site to see if it ever comes back on...

Hello. No problem. The activation is very simple, admitedly so, and so is using the unit. "Read the manual???" There are more people out there who simply try to work equipment without even opening the manual. And there are people that just want someone they know they can contact if there is...

Hello. I guess if you consider the taxes you'll be paying through them, the difference is only a few dollars. I do offer activation assistance and training (for an additional fee) which I know REI does not. If you do purchase one through them, you can still get the assistance / training...

Hello. I do have it the lowest authorized price of $149.95. The MSRP is $169.99. I do offer free shipping, if that is an incentive for anybody and all taxes are included. Unfortunately, that is the best I can do unless an individual wants to buy in large quantities (25 or more). Even then...

Hello. The SPOT product does, in fact, need line of site to the sky. With the satellites traversing all the time, the unit does NOT need to be south facing, as with a lot of the other satellite equipment. I'll see if SPOT is working on some kind of mounting system for the unit since we have a...

Hi Taff. Yes, it is on my web site but I'll go ahead and give it to you. [email protected]. Have a great day! Elaina

Hi Taff. I'd love to hear your ideas! Let me know how I can help. Take care. Elaina

Hi Fred. I suppose that will depend on your SO and whether or not the user of the SPOT gives their SO access to their account information. If the user went to a location other than where they told their SO they would be...could add a few "spot's" to their body! lol Have a great day!

Hi Taff, et al. I just wanted to let you all know I was on-line and available to help answer questions on the new SPOT Personal Tracking device. My company, Mountain Technical Field Services, is an authorized dealer for SPOT. I'll answer (or get answers to) any questions you may have on the...

Hi. I have been reading some of your forum guests comments on the SPOT product and I wanted to offer my company as another option for purchases and questions. Thanks!
