Spot Buddy 4+

Spot Buddy is an app that you can use to follow someones travel on a map if they are using a SPOT or Garmin inReach GPS tracking device.

The app is a better alternative to using the SPOT and Garmin tracking websites because it is easier to use and offers more functionality.

Some of the main Spot Buddy features include:

- Plots GPS trail on a map for one or more SPOT or inReach devices.

- View details reported by each device such as latitude, longitude, time, speed, distance, course, and battery status.

- View both public and password protected SPOT and inReach tracks (knowledge of userid and/or password is required).

- Send a GPS trail file to Google Earth, Drop Box, Google Drive, or any other app that can read KML or CSV files.

- Email track log details in CSV or KML format so you can share them or view on another computer.

- View SPOT or inReach check-in messages.

- Open GPX files and create map overlays that can be plotted on the map. GPX files with a single route, track, or waypoint elements are supported.

- Create map overlays by manually editing up to 500 waypoints.

- Share your list of trackers and map overlays via email.

- View your current location on the map using the built-in GPS. You can also show your current distance and bearing to a SPOT or inReach tracker.

Spot Buddy has been available since 2012 and will continue to be actively developed and supported for many years to come. If you have a problem using the app, see Settings / Help for the help guide and support email options.
