Reviews for Offline Spotter for POTA/SOTA
F'it!
Does not work
As the title says, it simply does not work. Tried to spot myself during a SOTA activation, I got this error every time ERRPNP:(call sign omitted) NOT IN DB. I reported the error with no reply. I’ll try it again in the future and update the review if it starts working.
POTA Activator
Offline Spotter to the Rescue!
When I downloaded this app, I thought I’d only use it to spot when I had no internet. I didn’t realize that it has all of the parks and grid squares stored in it and available when you have no internet access. This saved me when I realized I didn’t know my park number or grid square on a recent POTA activation where I expected to have cell service. The GPS located me and all of the info I needed was on the phone. Great app, I recommend.
