I have 3 messages set up.

Landed out, need a retrieve

There is only a single button on the device for sending these three messages. Using it is straight-forward enough. Hold the button down for a few seconds, the light blinks once and if you let it go, it'll send message one.. Hold it longer and 2 flashes or 3 flashes will indicate which message is being sent. It's still up to you to remember what your custom messages are.


This is be biggest problem IMHO. You press too long or too short, and the wrong message went through. Especially in the air when you need to keep your eyes outside, and you try to send a 'Still Flying' message but instead send the 'Landed Safely' message, or worse the 'Landed out, need a retrieve' message.
The Spot 2 has dedicated button for each message. I wonder why Delorme couldn't do the same. Lack of critical thinking. I am staying with Spot2 for now...
