HOW SPOT WORKS
u GPS satellites provide signals.
SPOT messenger's onboard GPS chip determines your GPS location and sends
v
your location and preselected message to communication satellites.
Communication satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas
w
around the world.
Satellite antennas and a global network route your location and message to the
x
appropriate network.
y 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 .
