When the SPOT unit is in tracking mode, will it send out changes in position automatically or does the tracking button have to be pushed periodically?

Yes, it sends out position info every 10 minutes automatically for 24 hours.

The tracking feature is a subscription service which I don't subscribe to. But the way I understand it, once the tracking feature is selected on the unit, it continues to transmit every ten minutes and you don't have to do anything else.

It will send the messages automatically until you turn the SPOT off. You can also send OK messages while tracking. That is what you can push when you choose and the tracking will resume automatically after the OK message is sent

In tracking mode it will send out its position every 10 minutes. You have to push the tracking button to activate this feature but once on it will continue until you turn it off or the batteries die. This service costs extra over their standard service price to work.

It's supposed to do it automatically. You may have to reset to OEM settings, then download the latest firmware update for it, depending on how old it is. If you are not comfortable with that, send it back to SPOTs repair and support center listed in the owners manual and give them a detailed letter as to what it is and is not doing. I know of two isolated cases where the owners got newer and improved models, but that is very rare.

When the tracking feature is enabled (the button is pushed) it will automatically send out a signal every 10 minutes for 24 hours. Then it will stop. You will need to reactivate the track button every 24 hours. Apparently, the batteries will allow you to send out position location for at least four, or more days, depending on temperature.

I can not answer that question...I just know, that when I place it on an area for the automatic time frame....IT WORKS!!!

It does have a knob for setting the tracking, but I can tell you I have had NO issues with the one that I own.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are asking if there is a delay while pressing the button on the transmitter, it is instantaneous in response. No different than pushing the shutter button directly on the camera. I've had this unit for a number of months now and really like it. Works really well.

That is my understanding. When I set mine up I scanned for the strongest signal, which indicated the station closest to my physical location. I don't know whether it will shift stations dynamically as you change locations, or if you have to do it manually. I'd look for that answer on-line (or call up the distributor).

to make sure it is in the automatic position the light has to be blue. I don't think there's a way to have it automatic all the time. in my experience its people that mess it up and either turn it off or leave it on in the wrong position

Hello Steve, Good Question....The Unit Is Set Up To Actually Do The Reverse. It Will Alert You Once It Leaves A Geo-fence Area. But You Can Do One Of Two Things To Accomplish What You Are Trying To Do. 1- You Can Set The Unit On No Move And Once It Moves You Can Watch It In Intervals To See If The Unit Enters The Area. 2- Once The Tracker Reaches The Area You Are Talking About, Then Set Your GeofenCe And YouR Intervals, Then The Tracker Will Alert You When It Is Out Of That Area.....Once It Returns To That Area It Will Stop Alerting You. Hope This Answers Your Question. Thank you.

You can constantly track the dog. But it will only update every few seconds, and then shows the direction and signal strength. (not like a GPS location) Note that the more you track, the sooner the battery wears down. The collar unit is always "listening". When the locator sends out a query (think "Marco"), the collar has to transmit back a reply (think "Polo"). The handheld unit then tries to determine what direction the signal came from, and what the signal strength was. Transmitting takes far more power than listening. So, constant tracking would wear the battery faster.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards

Yes, if you have the app installed, it should track faces and follow motion. Here's a list of compatible apps that you can use with this product: http://motrr.com/apps.php

It does not work well for me when counting laps. Hoping it is a software thing, tomtom has claimed they have an update in the work/soon though, so keeping fingers crossed.

Yes. It is set via a text file. Which then updates automatically as time passes.

I have mine set up to track for a week. I think when I got mine the default setting was 3 days.

No, You need to press the button in order to get a reading...It does not monitor constantly...

It does send an alert when there is motion but doesn't automatically start recording...unless I have NO CLUE. I have to manually go online to hit record. I would like these cameras a lot better if they recorded all the time...otherwise they are great!
