Thread: Spot x 2 way gps

Just seeing if anyone's using or has used the spot x GPS units?

Just thought I'd maybe try something different from garmin for once

Reviews would suggest not as good as Garmin cutting thru the thick shit or in tight gullies , south island open tops probably good enough. Don't think they have as many satellites

I've had one. Found it better than my Garmin for reliability getting messages in and out. Most reviews are all American based so I'd take them with a grain of salt. Only reason I have gone to garmin is because I have gone to Alpha200i unit so I can track dog and have maps etc all on one unit, it is in no way better than the spot unit I had at getting messages in and out. Depending on units garmin does offer those extra functions ie: weather reports, mapping, dog tracking etc but if I was after only messaging I'd go back to the spot unit

Oh good to know.

May give one a crack and test it out.
