The highly anticipated Spot X is here! As with all Spot products, this device is economical, minimalist and amazingly functional. The unit looks similar to a blackberry, with a full keyboard and large screen.

Spot states:

SPOT X provides 2-way satellite messaging so you can stay connected to family, friends and colleagues whenever you’re outside of cellular range, including direct communication with Search & Rescue services in case of a life-threatening emergency. SPOT X even provides you with your own Canada-based personal mobile number so others can message you directly from their cell phone or other SMS devices at any time.

This unit is a step up from the Gen3, which was single direction. Now, you can have two-way communications for a much more affordable price than the competitors.

 

 

Some awesome features include:

• 10 day battery (on 10 minute tracking)
• Full keyboard
• Rechargeable battery
• Direct line to Search and Rescue
• Check in texts (like Gen3)
• Post to social media
• 2 way messaging
• Compass
• Tracking (sends location to loved ones at set interval).

We know the SpotX will be a welcome addition to any outdoor adventurer’s pack! We are very excited to have this cost effective option for our customers.
