The Spot Gen 3 is just an amazing device for emergencies, peace of mind and relationships. I’m sure you’ve heard of these type of devices, GPS trackers or beacons have been around for a while. I got this about 4 years ago and it has been a great device.
You know the obvious uses, you can track your movements, send for help, send an SOS and just a check in. This last one is why I like it. I tend to do a lot of things solo, and when you do a few days of backpacking or a really long summit days sending your significant other a message that says you are OK is priceless for their peace of mind.
Another feature I like is that you can only do 1-way communication. There are some other devices that allow two way communication. I don’t want that in the back country. I go out to get away from that. Which is why I like this device.
You should totally get yourself one.
