Theres Life After Mobile Phone Signals

No Mobile phone coverage? No problem. SPOT uses reliable communications satellites to send you GPS location to others back home in real time. Hit a button and your contacts will get your message and GPS location delivered either as a text message to their cell phone or an e-mail with a link to Google Maps. Let your family know you’re OK or ask for help from a buddy. In trouble? Alert emergency responders to your exact location

What GPS devices have is a failure to communicate

Traditional GPS devices tell you where you are: only SPOT uses communications satellites to tell emergency responders or your contacts where you are and how you’re doing.

As smart & simple as google maps^tm

With Google Maps^TM technology it’s easy for your to let your friends and family know where you are. No need to understand GPS, they’ll use the same familiar technology they use everyday for driving direction and maps. You can even save and view messages with Google Earth or other GPS data formats.

What you can do with SPOT

SPOT's intuitive design allows you to communicate if four simple ways:

1. Alert 9-1-1: Notify both public and private emergency responders of your GPS location.  SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes until power is depleted or 911 is cancelled.
2. 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.
3. Help: Request help from friends and family and notify them of your exact location. SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes for one hour or until Help is cancelled.
4. Track: Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your proess using Google MapsTM.  SPOT sends one message every 10 minutes for 24hrs or until SPOT is powered off.
