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. And 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. |

SPOT
features four key functions that enable users to send messages
to friends, family or emergency responders, based upon varying
levels of need:
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 (OK)
Let contacts know where you are and that youre 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 it is powered off. |
