Why a SPOT GPS Locator?

Each year, millions of people escape to the great outdoors. Unfortunately, not all of them escape from it. The National Association of Search and Rescue estimates that there are over 50,000 search and rescue missions launched each year in the United States. Most of these are initiated without knowledge of the victims’ location.

But you don’t have to be an outdoor adventurer to be at risk. Anyone who works or travels in remote areas, or who lives in a region where the threat of inclement weather or natural disasters are a reality also knows how fast situations can turn bad and how quickly you can find yourself without communications. Which is why SPOT makes the perfect addition to any survival or disaster preparedness kit.

Coverage Area

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

How Spot Works


GPS satellites provide coordinates.

SPOT Messenger's onboard GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends your location and message to SPOT Satellite System.

SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antnnas around the world.

Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the appropriate network.

Your message is delivered to the appropriate recipient via text message, email or emergency service notification.

I was surprised to find my location correctly displayed in parking at Ketchikan, right down to the parking spot and upon my return home, my last point was right in front of my hangar.  MORE....
