SPOT Personal Satellite Messenger
Never get lost with SPOT Personal Tracker – the world’s first satellite messenger. SPOT’s unique tracking system allows you to leave a breadcrumb trail from land or sea, almost anywhere in the world. You can even send an SMS text or email to friends and family back home to let them know you’re safe. By using the GPS network, SPOT can calculate your exact whereabouts.
With SPOT, you can activate the ‘Check In’ function, which enables an exact GPS calculation of your location, while also sending a SMS text or email with your message and coordinates to friends and family.
By sending a signal out every 10 minutes, you can check in with friends and family and chart your progress in real time with Google Maps. Waypoints and entire routes can also be saved and viewed at a later date.
Help can be called in a non-life threatening situation with just the press of a button on the SPOT messenger. When activated, the Help message is broadcast with GPS accuracy every five minutes for one hour or until cancelled. Your contacts will receive an SMS text message including coordinates or an email with a link to Google Maps showing your exact location.
In a life-threatening situation, SPOT’s emergency button will notify the public and private responders of your location along with your personal information when activated. The appropriate agencies for each region, country and for your location will be alerted when the signal is set off. These may include a rescue response centre, local police, emergency services or the coast guard.
SPOT is distributed in Australia by Next Destination and is now available at leading outdoor, marine and consumer electronic outlets Australia wide.
