Manufacturer Description |
The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger gives you a line of communication when and where you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. Stay connected regardless of cell coverage.
The SPOT-2 is 30% smaller and 30% lighter than the original SPOT unit with a faster GPS acquisition time. New enhancements include a custom message button, dedicated tracking button, illuminated buttons, safety covers over S.O.S ad Help buttons, and much more.
SPOT Satellite Tracker Main Functions:
 Check-in with SPOT - 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.
 SPOT Track Progress - This 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.
 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 the land or water. SPOT has partnered with national service providers to offer non-life threatening assistance.
Custom Message - This feature allows you to let your friends and family know 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.
Roadside Assistance - Using the SPOT help feature you can get Roadside assistance if you are close to a mapped road. SPOT Assist's roadside service will offer 24/7 roadside assistance in the United States and Canada in Spring 2009. Using your national roadside assistance provider the SPOT will pinpoint your location for the service provider to ensure quick service when you are stuck by the road. No more guessing where you are and then trying to translate that location to the roadside assistance provider. They will find you with pin point accuracy.
 SOS and 911 - Press and hold the 9-1-1 button to alert emergency responders of life-threatening events. The GEOS Emergency Response Center will work with public response agencies around the world, and call your emergency contacts to find out more about your situation and keep them informed of rescue progress. GEOS works with all rescue agencies from the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and Coast Guard to local urban and rural 9-1-1 call centers. Optionally, GEOS will also dispatch private rescue agencies in those countries where public resources won't do. 911 sends a message and location update every 5 minutes until canceled.

SPOT Pricing and Service:
The SPOT satellite messenger uses the Globalstar data communications network which is separate from the voice service. The SPOT annual fees for the data communications is listed below. These costs are by far the best for satellite data communications.
- $99.99 USD/year: Basic satellite service subscription.
This includes:
- SPOT ALERT 9-1-1: Dispatch emergency responders to your location. Unlimited usage included.
- SPOT CHECK IN: Let contacts know where you are and that you're okay. Unlimited usage included.

- $7.95* USD/year: SPOT Insurance, GEOS Search and Rescue Benefit.
Provides up to $100,000 USD of additional search and rescue resources, including helicopter extraction around the world and reimbursement benefits - underwritten by Lloyd's of London - for any emergency service expenses incurred. For more information, including terms and conditions, visit http://www.geosalliance.com/sar
(* price if purchased at initial activation. $150.00 USD afterwards)
- $49.99 USD/year: Tracking Upgrade Option.
Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress using Google Maps. This upgrade is highly recommended by GPS City for anyone who will use the SPOT Track progress feature. Do not forget to get insurance so you are not billed for your rescue!
- $30 USD/year: Roadside Assistance Option.
Just press the Help button to receive 24/7 Roadside assistance through the trusted Nation Safe Driver system. At a price lower than the popular OnStar service, you can receive have roadside assistance sent directly to your current GPS location. The SPOT system uses satellite communication so help is on its way no matter where you are. Even if you have no cell service, you will still be able to request roadside assistance using SPOT. Services include roadside towing, auto-accident assistance, fuel services, tire repair, battery service, and lost keys or lockouts
