| SPOT Satellite Messenger Specifications |
 |
| The SPOT Satellite Messenger,
the world’s first satellite messenger, uses both the GPS
satellite network to determine a customer’s location and the
SPOT network to transmit that information to friends, family
or an emergency service center. |
 |
 |
|
SPOT Functional Specifications

functions that enable users to send messages to friends,
family or emergency responders, based upon varying
levels of need: |
|

TRACK PROGRESS: |
ALERT 9-1-1: |
Request help from friends and family in your exact location.
|
Let contacts know where you are and that you’re okay.

your progress using Google Maps™. |

|
SPOT sends one message every 5 minutes for one hour or until Help is cancelled.

service for redundancy. The first of those three
messages is delivered. |

or until SPOT is powered off.
