section 1: welcome

The great outdoors can be a big, uncertain place. But you’ve just 

purchased the most peace of mind available for the active outdoor 

adventurer or smartly-prepared individual. SPOT is the world’s first 

satellite messenger, using the GPS satellite system to determine your 

location and communications satellites to transmit that information to 

the chosen recipient. SPOT gives you and your loved ones peace of mind 

by allowing you to notify them or a GEOS International 9-1-1 Emergency 

Response Center of your exact location via Google Maps

, and to send for 

assistance in time of need around the world, completely independent of 

cellular phone or other land-based radio coverage. To begin using SPOT,
