Spot 2 or Spot Connect??

[GregMember]

Mine disconnects sometimes if I take my phone to far away from my back pack but it still continues to track. Actually before I could charge on the move I used to sync it up start the tracking and power down my iPhone for the day. When I got to the end of the day I would turn the phone back on resync it and send my message

You don’t need phone range or anything like that.

Sorry I missed your questions Linz :blush: very rude. I will pm you my mobile as I have using one of these connects before they before the app available in Aus. Bloody apple had the app in the USA but wouldn’t release it here because the connect wasn’t on sale at that stage in Aus. I had troubles early on because the unit kept turning of but I took it of the bar mount and it never did it again. I see Eags mentioned batteries, with lithium batteries mine has sat flashing for 3 weeks not tracking because it was in the house but on stand by. Most long trips I track the whole trip and replace the batteries every 10days. I have tried different lithium battery brands and found only the Sliver and blue Eveready ones last

Connect runs 2 x AA. Comes with Energiser Ultimate batteries. These thing should get good milage

Will let you know if I have any probs with tracking

Thanx TB – I appreciate you’re busy and can’t get to everyone’s questions

Wasn’t sure about connection to the phone etc. At least i know that once the tracking starts the iphone required.

I broke down on a recent ride and sent a message to the mrs but it didn’t go to her phone no. only her email – whats the deal with that

You wont have entered her phone number or more than likely entered it incorrectly

You dont use all the digits like we do here they have a pre set for Aus, check that

TB is right there mate,,

You need to start the mobile Number with the Aus preset 61 and drop the first 0, or something like that

Sorry to dig up old threads but I have a question on my new Spot

I activated mine at Christmas (thanks Santa) and just done a survey on line for them, They said in the survey that if you didn’t have the GEO insurance all charges for the recovery would be billed to the users account, is this just for the US or does this apply here for us as well.
I was under the impression that although the Emergency contact base is in the US it would be the same as dialling 112 here on our mobiles and treated the same.

cheers Harold
