Review: SPOT Connect

Seems to work well. Have sent test messages and these were received with latitude longitude attached and a link to a map showing my location. The description in the advert about "Request non-emergency help from professional service providers" applies to the USA where it links directly to a motoring organisation (extra fee applies). In Oz I have set up a prewritten message i can send to friend/family asking them to send help eg car broken down, call RACV to attached location. Sending a message can take up to 20 mins to complete as it sends your message three times over 20 mins to ensure connection. Only one message is received by your friend/family. Nice to know I can call for help wherever I am. Can call SOS without the phone by pushing a button on the device.
