how spot works
GPS satellites provide coordinates.
SPOT messenger’s onboard GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends your
location and message to the SPOT satellite system.
SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the
world.
Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the
appropriate network.
Your message is delivered according to your instructions via text message, email or
emergency notification via the response center.

When SPOT sends a text or email message to one of your contacts or to a GEOS International 9-1-1
Emergency Response Center, it includes your exact coordinates and a web link to view your
location using Google Maps
