HOW SPOT WORKS
GPS satellites provide signals.
SPOT messenger’s onboard GPS chip determines your GPS location and sends
your location and preselected message to communication satellites.
Communication satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas
around the world.
Satellite antennas and a global network route your location and message to the
appropriate network.
Your location and messages are delivered according to your instructions via email,
text message, or emergency notification to the GEOS Rescue Coordination Center.
Powered by Google maps
™
When SPOT sends a text or email message
to one of your contacts or to the GEOS
Rescue Coordination Center, it includes
your GPS coordinates and a web link to
view your location using Google Maps
