SPOT SATELLITE GPS MESSENGER/ORANGE (SPOT-2O)
Introducing the next generation of personal satellite messaging and
emergency communications providing enhanced GPS performance in a
smaller and lighter form.
In the event of
a minor mishap, SPOT lets you request non-emergency help
from friends or family. Or if things get truly out of hand, you
can call in the cavalry via 9-1-1. In additions, SPOT lets you
send a message to friends and family so they know you’re
okay, allows them to track your progress and even saves your
waypoints for later – all with virtual views provided by Google
Maps™.
And since it’s all handled with satellite technology, you get
coverage wherever you roam. Even where cell phones don’t.
