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.
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.
ASK FOR HELP: In the event of a
non-life threatening emergency, you can use this
function to notify your SPOTteam – the friends and
family you have chosen as your contacts – that you need
assistance.
How It 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.
CHECK IN: Also known as
SPOTcheckingSM, this feature allows you to let your
SPOTteam – the friends and family you have chosen as
your contacts – know that all is well, notify them of
your location, or save waypoints so you can review your
route at a later date.
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.
TRACK PROGRESS: Also known as
SPOTcastingSM, this feature allows friends and family to
follow your progress in real time using your password,
or to save waypoints so you can review your entire route
at a later date.
How It Works:
Once activated, SPOT acquires and sends your GPS
coordinates to your SPOT account every 10 minutes.
Anyone with access to your account information can log
on and view your route, complete with virtual views
provided by Google Maps™. To continue tracking on longer
journeys, the SPOTcastingSM function must be
re-activated every 24 hours.
Important Note:
Additional subscription fees apply for the "Track
Progress" function.
