My mom got me the spot gen 4 for Christmas. Im out in the middle of nowhere a lot of the time and am interested in having it for emergencies or communicating when I have no signal however I am not a fan of being tracked on the go. Is there anything to be concerned of with these type of products? Id say yes but I cant find anything online.

    Fair…

    Batteries are removable! Maybe I don’t have anything to worry about then. I can keep the batteries out until I need it.

      Maybe at the time you most need it, you’d want it to be as readily as possible. May I suggest a thin plastic layer to open the circuit rather than having the batteries out?
