HOW SPOT WORKS
SPOT MAPPING
1.
GPS satellites provide signals.
2.
SPOT Gen4 determines your GPS location and sends your location and pre-programmed message to
communication satellites.
3.
Communication satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the world.
4.
Satellite antennas and a global network route your location and message to the appropriate network.
5.
Your location and messages are delivered according to your instructions via email, text message, or
emergency notification to the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center.
When SPOT sends a text or email message to one of
your contacts or to GEOS International Emergency
Response Coordination Center (IERCC), it includes your
GPS coordinates and a web link (email only) to view your
location using SPOT Mapping.
