I got it, paid to subscribe, and now can't get it to show me where it's at. I have it outside under the sky and set the OK button and they're both flashing
I have 2 email addresses set up on the site and it still wont send the emails to show the links to see the map
How long have you waited? It sometimes isn't very quick to dispatch ok messages, but within several minutes you should get something. I would suggest calling support. Also the first time you use it sometimes it takes a long time to get the GPS signal and it can't send out an ok until it does that. All else fails call support!
Awsome Video man and thanks for making it i've been looking at this gear for a long time but didt know wheter i should buy it or not but after this vid i will go buy it couse i work with Survival and Backpacking and we go to norway and sweden to the mountian so this will be an awsome gear to have Regards P.Nielsen Viking-Survival
I Have a Spot. I fly an ultralight airplane and land in the small lakes in the mountains. I have tested the I'm ok feature in very remote areas and it works great. This is a great little device that can provide you with an option in case of trouble. The only beef I have with it is that it turns on accidentally, very easily while being bumped around in my flight suit. Even though the batteries last a long time in that state. It's a little disconcerting draining power away for no reason.
I'm with you on the buttons. They need to be improved. They work well for me because we mainly leave the spot on our dash, but I could see how it might turn itself on. Fortunately enough the 911 button does have a bit extra protection against that so hopefully that never accidentally gets pressed!
21 feet above sea level?? lol
