Thoughts on The Design of SPOT2 GPS




  1. I love the fact the screws holding down the battery cover has little flip up handles so you can turn them with just your fingers, and that they are set so that they don't fall out once loosened. This is top quality design. However, the battery compartment door is not attached to the unit, and it should be, so there is no risk of losing that. Admittedly, it is pretty hard to lose something that is fairly large and orange
  2. Somewhat more importantly, the SOS button should be hooked into the power button, in the sense that if you press and hold the SOS button, it turns the device on and goes into SOS mode. As it is, activating SOS is a 2 step process, requiring you to first turn the device on.
