SPOT Satellite Messenger
Subscription Information |
 |
| The SPOT Satellite Messenger, the world’s
first satellite messenger, uses both the GPS satellite
network to determine a customer’s location and the SPOT
network to transmit that information to friends, family or
an emergency service center. |

|
 |
 |
 |
| Basic Satellite Service Subscription
($99.99 per year USD)
includes: |
 |
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. Unlimited usage
included. |
| 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. |

CHECK IN:

is well. The SPOT message will notify them of your location or save
waypoints so you can review your route at a
later date. Unlimited usage included. |
|
How It Works: When you press the OK button,
SPOT acquires your exact location from the GPS
network and routes it through the SPOT satellite
network. Your contacts receive either an SMS
text message on their mobile phone with your
message and coordinates, or an email with your
message and a link to Google Maps™ showing your
exact location |
|
|
|
 |
ASK FOR HELP:
In the event of a non-life threatening
emergency, you can use this function to notify
your SPOT-Team – the friends and family you have
chosen as your contacts – that you need
assistance.

Works:
Once activated, SPOT acquires your exact
location from the GPS network and routes it along with
the HELP message through the SPOT satellite network
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. |
