SPOT uses 100% satellite technology to track your location from just about anywhere on earth, providing a means for outbound communications in places lacking cellular coverage. While this technology is ideal for anyone traveling to the far reaches of the planet, it’s just as useful when your backyard happens to be the “great wide open”. Whether you’re crossing the Pacific ocean or the Continental Divide, SPOT allows you to let others know your location, that you’re safe, or that you require assistance. This product has had a revolutionary impact in sporting activity. As of last count, SPOT products have initiated over 1350 rescues over the last 4 years in more than 60 countries. Currently, SPOT offers two devices:
