SPOT’s GPS Messenger Offers Backcountry Peace of Mind

SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger

SPOT‘s GPS Messenger allows you to share your GPS location as well as text-message with others via a global satellite network. With the push of a button, and a basic service plan ($99.99/year), you can check in with family or friends, allow them to track you live via Google Maps, or ask for help to be sent to your location in the even of an emergency. Because SPOT uses 100 percent satellite technology, it works regardless of cellular coverage.

You can purchase your SPOT online, or at a retailer near you.  MSRP is $149.95.
