Introducing SPOT – The World’s First Satellite
Messenger.
SPOT
gives you a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want
it and emergency help when you need it. SPOT is compact, rugged and easy to
use. And since SPOT uses 100% satellite technology, it works virtually
anywhere. Even where cell phones don’t.
Your Story
You’re miles away from
everything. And your only worry is “what if?” What if there’s an accident?
Could you call for help? And could anyone find you even if you did?
SPOT is the world’s first
satellite messenger. In the event of a minor mishap, SPOT lets you request
non-emergency help from friends or family. Or if things get truly out of hand,
you can call in the cavalry via 9-1-1. In additions, SPOT lets you send a
message to friends and family so they know you’re okay, allows them to track
your progress and even saves your waypoints for later – all with virtual views
provided by Google Maps™.
And since it’s all handled
with satellite technology, you get coverage wherever you roam. Even where cell
phones don’t.
It’s your story - Live To Tell
About It™
Functionality
The
Ultimate Outdoor Messenger – 100% Satellite technology.
SPOT
is the first device that can communicate a message and your exact GPS
coordinates to the people you need to contact from virtually anywhere around
the world. With SPOT, you can keep in touch no matter what your outdoor
activity may be. Whether you’re just checking in, allowing others to track your
progress or calling for help – SPOT can give you and your loved ones assurance
that your next adventure will be a safe one.
Works
where cell phones don’t
SPOT
utilizes 100% satellite technology, so SPOT works around the world, even where
cell phones don’t.
SPOT
coverage including virtually all of the continental United States, Canada,
Mexico, Europe and Australia, portions of South America, Northern Africa and
North-eastern Asia, and hundreds or thousands of miles offshore of these areas.
Backed by one of the world’s leading mobile satellite companies, the SPOT network
has provided reliable service for over 50,000 governmental and industrial
clients.
Communicates
like GPS devices can’t – Transmitting messages and exact coordinates.
Unlike
traditional GPS devices, which only receive a satellite signal indicating your
location, SPOT uses dual satellite networks which allows for an outward communication
of your coordinates to be sent to friends and family, or to request emergency
assistance when you need it.
