SPOT the World's only Satellite Messenger.spot messenger lake norman

Sends messages to your contacts or emergency services with the push of a button.

We have quite a few areas in Lake Norman and in the foothills of North Carolina where cell service is spotty or non-existent. What do you do? Get one of these!!

WHO NEEDS IT

-Real Estate Agents, Drivers, Boaters, Fishermen, Hunters, Hikers, Campers, Travelers, Kayakers, White Water Rafters, Snow Skiers, Rock Climbers, Mountain Bikers, and more...

-Businesses want employees to be in contact and have access to emergency services even when cell service is not available. Services on call.

-Anyone who drives in areas without cell phone service.

FEATURES

-Send a text or email to your family and friends to let them know you are OK.  They can see your exact location via Google Maps.

-Send a Help message to your friends and family in case you need help but it is not an emergency.

-Most importantly send a 911 message to local authorities in case of emergency, which gives them your GPS location and keeps sending until it is turned off.

-Use it on the Road like On-Star to call emergency services where you have no cell signal.

-Add Tracking for $49.99 a year and your contacts can see your location in real time on Google Maps, or Track yourself to see your trip route after you get home.

Why you need it even if you carry a cell phone.

-It works wherever you have a clear view of the sky so you are virtually never out of service.

- Its Waterproof

-It Floats

-Uses AA Batteries, so it easy to carry spares.

With the SPOT Satellite Messenger, you and your loved ones have peace of mind knowing help is always within reach. SPOT is the only device of its kind, using the GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sending its location with a link to Google Maps™ and a pre-programmed message via a commercial satellite network. And unlike Personal Locator Beacons, SPOT does more than just call for help. Tracking your progress, checking in with loved ones, and non-emergency assistance are also available, all at the push of a button. And because it uses 100% satellite technology, SPOT works where cell phones won’t.

Sandy,

Thanks!  I went camping a few times this summer on Mt Lemmon in Tucson with my daughters and my wife freaked out, A.) becuase it is Bear and Mt Lion country , but B.) She lost all contact with us, even google latitude didn't work.  This would give her peace of mind!

That is very cool.  I would use it skiing this winter.  We go off the trails a lot in Europe and this would really be an incredible safety valve!
