SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker and Messenger - SPOT-SM

SPOT - THE WORLD'S FIRST SATELLITE MESSENGER.

• ALERT 9-1-1 - Dispatch emergency responders to your exact location
  
• CHECK IN - Let contacts know where you are and that you're okay
  
• TRACK PROGRESS - Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress using your password and Google Maps?.
  
• ASK FOR HELP - Request help from friends and family at your exact location.

ALERT 9-1-1:Use this function In the event of a life threatening or other critical emergency to notify emergency services of your exact location and that you need assistance. The GEOS International Emergency Response Center alerts the appropriate agencies worldwide ? for example contacting 9-1-1 responders in North America and 1-1-2 responders in Europe.

How It Works:

Once activated, SPOT will acquire its exact coordinates from the GPS network, and send that location along with a distress message to a GEOS International Emergency Response Center every five minutes until cancelled. The Emergency Response Center notifies the appropriate emergency responders based on your location and personal information ? which may include local police, highway patrol, the Coast Guard, our country?s embassy or consulate, or other emergency response or search and rescue teams ? as well as notifying your emergency contact person(s) about the receipt of a distress signal.

Important Note:

Even if SPOT cannot acquire its location from the GPS network it will still attempt to send a distress signal ? without exact location ? to the Emergency Response Center, which will still notify your contacts of the signal and continue to monitor the network for further messages.

SPOT is designed for maximum reliability. Spot performs a self-diagnostic test each time it is powered on. Additionally, Spot strongly recommends that you send and verify an OK/Check message each time before use. This allows you to evaluate your entire messaging system, from the operational condition of the messenger to the readiness of those you?ve chosen to notify of your messages.
