Satellite Messenger (SPOT)

SPOT Satellite Messenger is the world’s first global satellite tracker dedicated to consumers. SPOT is the first device of its kind to use a revolutionary combination of reliable satellite messaging and GPS location technology. This handheld device uses the GPS satellite system to determine a user’s location and the SPOT network to transmit that location and the user’s status independently of cellular coverage.
