SPOT is the world’s first Satellite Messenger

SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger - As seen on The Gadget Show

The SPOT is the world’s first personal tracker satellite messenger. This unique feature allows the SPOT to be used in areas with no mobile phone network coverage as it uses low level satellites to transmit its messages instead of the conventional mobile phone networks.

This means the SPOT can be used anywhere in the world and with world wide mapping the device can be tracked anywhere in the world.

The SPOT is ideal for high risk workers, climbers, hikers, the marine industry and anyone in a low signal area.

The new 30% smaller, 30% lighter version of the SPOT is now available in orange and grey casing from Safetrac Solutions!

The new Spot incorporates the following functions:

SOS/emergency call: Use this function in the event of a life-threatening or other critical emergency to notify the GEOS International Emergency Response Centre of your GPS location and that you require urgent assistance. GEOS alerts the appropriate agencies worldwide depending on your location- for example 999 responders in the UK, 911 in the US and 112 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 land or on water. SPOT has partnered with national service providers to provide 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.

Custom Message: This feature allows you to let your friends and family receive a custom message along with your GPS location with a push of a button. Use this feature as a secondary OK message or transfer your personal help alert to this message function if you are using a SPOT Assist service on your Help button.

Track Progress: This optional extra 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.
