SPOT Personal Tracker

SPOT Personal TrackerSPOT. THE WORLD'S FIRST SATELLITE MESSENGER.

With the SPOT Satellite Messenger, you and your loved ones have peace of mind knowing help is always within reach. SPOT is the only device of its kind, using the GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, and then sending its location with a link to Google Maps™ and a pre-programmed message via a commercial satellite network. And unlike Personal Locator Beacons, SPOT does more than just call for help. Tracking your progress, checking in with loved ones, and non-emergency assistance are also available, all at the push of a button. And because it uses 100% satellite technology, SPOT works around the world even where cell phones don't.

Coverage
SPOT works around the world, including virtually all of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Australia, portions of South America, Northern Africa and North Eastern Asia, and hundreds or thousands of miles off-shore of these areas.

Messenger
  • ALERT 9-1-1 - Dispatch emergency responders to your exact location
  • CHECK IN - Let contacts know where you are and that you're okay
  • TRACK PROGRESS - Send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress using your password and Google Maps™.
  • ASK FOR HELP - Request help from friends and family at your exact location.


ALERT 9-1-1:
Use this function In the event of a life threatening or other critical emergency to notify emergency services of your exact location and that you need assistance.

HOW IT WORKS:
Once activated, SPOT will acquire its exact coordinates from the GPS network, and send that location along with a distress message to a GEOS International Emergency Response Center every five minut

Tips For Selecting a GPS Tracking System


A lot of people don't know that you don't have to buy an expensive car or truck to have a GPS system. You can purchase small units that plug into any car cigarette lighter. The unit is portable and easily stores in the glove compartment when not in use. You may want to consider this as an option for a GPS car tracking system if you have a limited budget. GPS tracking for cars is a good way to prevent disaster should an emergency situation arise.

If you do choose to purchase a larger more involved unit you will want to make sure it fits in with the design of the car or truck you have. If you want a unit that has a monitor display of area maps then you should have the available space for it to be mounted. Generally these display units are attached to the dashboard. You don't want the monitor device to obscure any air vents or controls you may need to make use of. Being able to drive your vehicle comfortably is the first consideration so a mounted GPS system should never cause interference with your driving ability.

You also want to know how easy it will be to install the GPS system you choose. You may wish to have an authorized dealer install the system instead of trying to do it yourself. In addition, some of the units allow for the input of information such as address you frequent. This makes for easy configuration when routing your destination. You can also choose to have a voice activated system such as "first alert". This type of system will alert you when you are approaching your destination. You can also get it to specify certain spots along the way such as hospitals and airports.

You'll want to check the construction of the system to make sure it will be water and heat proof. This is important if you should ever become involved in a major accident. While the system is handy in being able to navigate you from one point to the other, it is most beneficial in being able to alert others in case of an emergency situation. Some also require the use of an external antenna which could be broken off in the event of an accident.

While GPS tracking for cars is a good idea, it may end up being an investment you can't really afford. On top of the cost of the system itself, there will be the charge for installation and a monthly service fee for the GPS tracking itself. To help reduce some of the cost you may be able to pick up a good second hand tracking system. You can also choose to have a GPS system on your cell phone if the phone is something you normally have with you when you drive.
