No Mobile Coverage? No Problem! Turn your Smartphone into a Satellite Communicator with the SPOT Connect.
Today's smartphones provide a level of social connection far beyond what we imagined just a few years ago. But when you go beyond the reach of the grid, your smartphone needs the help of SPOT Connect to keep you in touch with friends, family, and emergency personnel. Simply pair your smartphone with SPOT Connect, and get connected to a global satellite network that lets you send messages and GPS coordinates from virtually anywhere on the planet. Update Twitter and Facebook. Send email and text messages. Request non-emergency help from professional service providers. And in the case of a critical emergency, send an SOS message requesting emergency assistance. See the Additional Images Tab for the Product Specifications, Battery Life, User Manual and Subscription Pricing Information.
How it Works:In critical and life threatening emergencies, send an SOS message for help. You can send an SOS alert by selecting SOS in the SPOT Connect App and if you choose, even provide additional information by sending a custom Type & Send SOS message. In addition, SPOT Connect has an on device SOS button for standalone emergency operation. Once activated, SPOT Connect will acquire its GPS coordinates from the GPS network, and send that location with your SOS message to the IERCC every 5 minutes until cancelled or until the batteries are depleted. The Emergency Response Center notifies the appropriate emergency responders based on your GPS location and personal information.
Important Note:Even if SPOT cannot acquire its location from the GPS network it will still attempt to send a distress signal – without exact location – to GEOS, which will still notify your contacts of the signal and continue to monitor the network for further messages. SOS Emergency Services is Powered By GEOS Search and Rescue
How it Works:In order for Help to transmit appropriately, you must set up your Predefined messages and Contact list. Configure up to 14 Predefined messages of up to 120 characters each to choose from or custom type up to 41 character Type & Send messages on the go. Choose from up to 10 Contact Groups to send a Help message. Each Contact Group can have up to 50 email or SMS addresses. Once Help is activated, SPOT acquires your location from the GPS network and routes it along with the Help message you choose through the SPOT satellite network every 5 minutes for 1 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 location.

How it Works:In order for Check-in/OK to transmit appropriately, you must set up your Predefined messages and Contact list.

Choose from up to 10 Contact Groups to send a Check-in/OK message. Each Contact Group can have up to 50 email or SMS addresses. Once Check-in/OK is activated, SPOT acquires your location from the GPS network and routes it along with the Check-in/OK message you choose through the SPOT satellite network 3 times over 20 minutes (or until canceled) for maximum reliability (only one email or SMS/text message will actually be sent to your contacts). If SPOT cannot get a GPS signal, it will not send your Check-in/OK message. Your contacts will receive an SMS text message including coordinates, or an email with a link to Google Maps™ showing your location.
How it Works:Once activated, SPOT acquires and sends your GPS coordinates to your SPOT account and, if you choose, Shared Pages and SPOT Adventures Live Maps, automatically every 10 minutes for 24 hours or until canceled. Track Progress must be reengaged to continue beyond a 24 hour tracking session.
