Consumer Spec Sheet

Feature by Feature Comparison Sheet

SPOT is the world’s first and only Satellite GPS Messenger, a truly unique device. It uses the GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sends its location – with a link to Google Maps™ – as a pre-programmed e-mail message via a commercial satellite network to your friends and family.

SPOT GPS Personal Tracker can also send the message to the mobile phone.

Unlike a traditional GPS device, which only receives a satellite signal indicating your location, SPOT utilizes dual satellite networks to receive your location as well as transmit it, along with pre-programmed messages, to the recipients of your choice.

Whether you’re just checking in, allowing others to track your progress, or calling for help SPOT gives you a vital line of communication with your friends, family or workplace when you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. And since it utilizes 100% satellite technology, SPOT works around the world – even where cell phones don’t.

When using Help, Check-in and Track Progress functions, you  can pinpoint your location for others or save as waypoints for future reference using email links to mapping from Google Maps™
