SPOT is the only device of its kind, it uses a GPS
satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sends 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. SPOT will track our progress, family and friends will
be able to keep track of us and non-emergency assistance is also available.
SPOT works around the world – even where cell phones don't.
