SPOT User Survey - Altitude?
All,
So in some of the recent discussions with SPOT about their upcoming products, they tell me that they have indeed surveyed their users about whether they would like to have altitude outputted. They have not (yet) told me how much extra it would have cost, but they said that the majority of users they surveyed were not willing to pay any extra to have altitude outputted by their devices. They said that while the "hangliders" have been passionate about it, that there hasn't been a large enough group of users who said they were willing to pay an additional amount to justify the additional bandwidth usage. So the purpose of this posting is to ask if any of the users on this newgroups anywhere in the world have EVER been survey'd by SPOT or an affiliated organization ANYTHING related to the addition altitude to the information outputted by a SPOT device. If you have, please let me know. My guess is that there won't be anyone on here that has ever been asked. I'm hoping to try to get something posted somewhere on the AOPA site with a similar question to see what the response there is as well. I will also ask some of our more active paraglider buddies as well. I will also push back a little on any proposed pricing they might have considered. Since I don't know that, please also let me know if you would be willing to pay say (I'm making this up) $5 extra a year to have altitude outputted from your device and available on your shared page? Armed with some of this feedback, I hope to push back a bit more in hopes of trying to get altitude output onto the plate for the next version of SPOT. Thanks in advance!! -Mark |
