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 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 it is powered off. |

help avoid sending messages accidentally. To turn SPOT
