Functional Specifications

SPOT features four key functions that enable users to send messages to friends, family or emergency responders, based upon varying levels of need:

SOS/911: 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.

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.

Why a SPOT GPS Locator?

Each year, millions of people escape to the great outdoors. Unfortunately, not all of them escape from it. The National Association of Search and Rescue estimates that there are over 50,000 search and rescue missions launched each year in the United States. Most of these are initiated without knowledge of the victims’ location.

However, you don’t have to be an outdoor adventurer to be at risk. Anyone who works or travels in remote areas or who lives in a region where the threat of inclement weather or natural disasters are a reality also knows how fast situations can turn bad and how quickly you can find yourself without communications. This is why SPOT makes the perfect addition to any survival or disaster preparedness kit.

How Spot Works

• GPS satellites provide coordinates.
• SPOT Messenger's on board GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends your location and message to SPOT Satellite System.
• SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the world.
• Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the appropriate network.
• Your message is delivered to the appropriate recipient via text message, email or emergency service notification.
