SPOT, SPOT X, inReach, or PLB: Which One?
Small Craft Advisor
|May - June 2020
I like to row, and I even learned how to use a yuloh to move my Potter.
But I consider a reliable outboard motor to be an important component of my on-water safety plan—as well as a convenience when the wind dies and the tide is against me. I don’t need technology to have great adventures, but sometimes I’m really happy I’ve got it. Now that personal locator beacons and various “messenger” devices are available, shouldn’t we consider taking one along on the voyage? Recent news reports of missing (and eventually found) hikers strongly suggest that the answer is “Yes.” My question is: What are the differences between SPOT, SPOT X, Garmin’s inReach-enabled devices— and a PLB? And how do I choose the best one?
