Review on Spot SPOT TRACE 01 Trace Orange Small by Antonio Taveras

Revainrating 1 out of 5

12 month contract required! The battery life is terrible. Now the block is out of service.

Working but line of sight to sky for satellite coverage is somewhat limited for non-commercial use. I was also very disappointed with the contract offer. There is NO monthly offer. So you can pay for just the device, but expect 1.5x what you would pay for the first year of service. They give the impression that when you sign up it's just month by month, but buyers beware! When it comes to tracking, it is better to use a cheap mobile phone with a monthly tariff and a large battery. You'll save money and likely get more battery life out of your device. The battery life in SPOT Trace is not enough for the intended purpose, you need to buy high quality lithium batteries to extend the life. My SPOT footprint goes to ebay after the end of the contract. Neat concept which I think they designed poorly. descent to a star. Must be zero. Now the device won't even boot and the components fall off the board. Garbage. wanted to sell.

Pros
  • New
