SPOT GEN3 vs. GEN1?
My two cents: I had problems with spot. Got an inreach and have been delighted; only problem is on-switch is not well-enough protected/recessed to prevent battery run-down if carelessly tossed in a bag of random junk.
See ya, Dave

SPOT GEN3 vs. GEN1?
I had a gen 2 which crapped out and I've been more than happy with my gen 3.
The gen 3 has even survived multiple trips on a friend's high altitude balloon project where it was the only tracking device that survived. It did quite working above ~50,000ft but came.back on during descent and allowed them to find their experiment.

See ya, Dave Like others I dropped SPOT for InReach and am happy with it. Don't see battery life as a problem: Lasts more than a week of average soaring days and is rechargeable with a micro USB cable. Dave, there was a bug in one version that caused InReach to start up too easily. Try updating it (currently v1.4.9.8229) and see if that helps. Jim
