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.
