THERES LIFE AFTER MOBILE PHONE SIGNALS
SPOT. The World's First Satellite Messenger!!!!
Watch the YOU TUBE video on spot tracker here:
With the SPOT Satellite Messenger, you and your loved ones have peace of mind knowing help is always within reach. SPOT is the only device of its kind, using the GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sending its location – with a link to Google Maps™ – and a pre-programmed message via a commercial satellite network. And unlike Personal Locator Beacons, SPOT does more than just call for help. Tracking your progress, checking in with loved ones, and non-emergency assistance are also available, all at the push of a button. And because it uses 100% satellite technology, SPOT works around the world – even where cell phones don't.
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 MAPSTM
With Google MapsTM 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.
