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 assistance
in time of need around the world, completely independent of cellular
phone or other land-based radio coverage. To begin using SPOT, visit findmespot.com to select a service plan and

satellites provide coordinates. 2. SPOT messenger’s onboard GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends
your location and
message to the SPOT satellite system. 3. SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around
the world. 4. Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the
appropriate
network. 5. Your message is delivered according to your instructions via text message, email or emergency
notification via the response center. Powered by Google Maps™ When SPOT sends a text or email message to one
of your
