How It Works:

SPOT is the world's first and only Satellite Messenger; Size: 4.38 X 2.75 X 1.5” (approx. 111 mm x 69 mm x 44 mm) Approximate Weight: 7.37 ounces (209 grams)

SPOT sends messages via satellites to e-mail addresses and/or cell phones;

Each message contains the following information:
1. GPS coordinates
2. User defined message 115 characters
3. A link to Google Maps™.

There are 4 modes of messaging:
1. "911"- When the 911 button is pressed, a message is sent to our international 911 response center. The proper authorities are then dispatched to your location;
2. "OK"-The OK button is used to send an "all is well" message to friends and family;
3. "Help"- The help button is designed to be used in non-life threatening situations. The people on your contact list are notified of your position and request for assistance.
4. Track Progress (additional service fee required) - Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress using Google Maps™.
