With the SPOT Satellite Messenger, you and your loved ones have peace of mind knowing help is always within reach. SPOT is the only device of its kind, using the GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sending its location - with a link to Google Maps - and a pre-programmed message via a commercial satellite network.

 

Product Features
Unlike Personal Locator Beacons, SPOT does more than just call for help. Tracking your progress, checking in with loved ones, and non-emergency assistance are also available, all at the push of a button. And because it uses 100% satellite technology, SPOT works around the world - even where cell phones don't.

• Alert 9-1-1: Dispatch emergency responders to your exact location. SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes until power is depleted or 911 is cancelled.
• Ask for Help: Request help from friends and family in your exact location. SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes for one hour or until Help is cancelled
• Check In: Let contacts know where you are and that you're okay. SPOT sends three identical messages to the SPOT service for redundancy. The first of those three messages is delivered.
• Track Progress: Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress using Google Maps. SPOT sends one message every 10 minutes for 24 hours or until SPOT is powered off.
