SPOT is the world’s first satellite messenger. SPOT sends your
exact GPS coordinates and selected messages over commercial satellites to tell
others of your location and status
SPOT works around the world, independently of cellular networks
SPOT uses the GPS satellite system to determine a user’s
location and the SPOT satellite network to transmit that location and the user’s
status
The SPOT satellite network is a commercial satellite network
with a proven 99.4% reliability rate while processing over 6 million messages a
month – the equivalent of 2.3 messages per second
Your SPOT Tracker needs to be activated before use
