The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger provides a vital line of communication with
friends and family when you want it, and emergency assistance when you need it.
Using 100% satellite technology, SPOT works virtually anywhere in the world,
even where cell phones don’t – all with the push of a button.
SOS: Use this function In the event of a life threatening or other
critical emergency to notify emergency services of your GPS location and that
you need assistance. The GEOS International Emergency Response Center alerts the
appropriate agencies worldwide – for example contacting 9-1-1 responders in
North America and 1-1-2 responders in Europe.
Help: In the event of a non-life threatening emergency, you can use this
function to notify your personal contacts that you need assistance. Additional
SPOT Assist services can be purchased and programmed to your Help button as
well. When activated with SPOT Assist, the Help button will notify professional
services either on the land or water. SPOT has partnered with national service
providers to offer non-life threatening assistance.
Check-in/OK: This feature allows you to let your friends and family know
that all is OK with a pre-programmed message along with your GPS location. With
a push of a button a message is sent via email or SMS to up to 10 pre-determined
contacts and your waypoint is stored in your SPOT account for later reference.
Your stored waypoints can be easily integrated into a SPOT Shared Page or SPOT
Adventure account.
Custom Message: This feature allows you to let your friends and family
know receive a custom message along with your GPS location with a push of a
button. Use this feature as a secondary OK message or transfer your personal
help alert to this message function if you are using a SPOT Assist service on
your Help button.
Track Progress: This feature allows you to send and save your location
and allow contacts to track your progress in near real time using Google Maps.
With your SPOT account you have the ability to set up a SPOT Shared Page which
allows you to show your SPOT GPS locations to others on a Google Map.
