Satellite Messaging & Tracking for Overlanding
The ability to communicate to your loved ones at home, or having the safety-net of being able to call for help when everything has gone wrong is priceless. The SPOT X or SPOT GEN3 are two perfect solutions for this. If you simply need to track a vehicle or.... their TRACE device can give you that peace of mind of knowing exactly where your equipment is.
This is a great educational episode with Brian Dallas, the Pacific Northwest regional sales manager for SPOT. Brian helps us better understand what the benefits of a SPOT are, the differences between their new SPOT X, the GEN3 and the TRACE. We also review the costs, insurance options and coverage areas. There’s a lot of really great information packed into this episode, another great episode you’ll want to pass onto your friends.
