Be Safe with SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger
- Updated: March 22, 2010
SPOT’s next generation Satellite GPS Messenger is small light weight and is affordable at just $89. SPOT can transmit, worry free, while you’re out on the trails to keep you in contact with your family or friends. Utilizing 100 percent satellite technology, you can easily check in with your family or have them remotely track you so even if you have no idea where in the world you are, they will, and if you need it, help can find you. SPOT comes complete with an Alert 9-1-1 function that once activated, sends a powerful signal alerting The GEOS International Emergency Response Center every five minutes until cancelled. The response centre then sends a message to the appropriate response team based on your location. The Check-In function allows family or friends to track your progress alerting them via text messaging on their cell phone or by an emailed link to your location using Google Maps. You can also leave a digital breadcrumb trail so loved ones can track your progress in real time using Google Maps or so you can review your route upon safe return home. SPOT also allows you send an “OK” message to up to 10 predetermined friends at the push of a button just to let them know you’re safe. Scource: findmespot.com
