SPOT Connect Units now in stock
Sorry Guys but a quick perusal of the manual shows that track mode for
this is exactly the same as Spot 1/2. Every 10 mins for 24 hours,
then you have to reset it to start the 25 hour period. No way to set
that value less than 10 minutes.
Now if someone were to hack the app......ok I won't go there. :-)

also running a glider navigation program, then there would be other

Perhaps a bluetooth link to Spot Connect could be a feature of an
Android glider nav program, or for that matter, any other glider
navigation computer that is provided with a Bluetooth add-on.
Wouldn't it be cool if ClearNav, for example, spoke directly to Spot
Connect; then the phone could remain off and stashed.
