Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I do a lot of solo hiking and snowshoeing in country that has no cell phone coverage.I used to carry a relatively heavy and expensive, single purpose EPIRB.Now I carry this light relatively inexpensive Satellite Messenger. It retains the rescue function but also enables me to log my path in real time on a website, send a message home that I'm OK or send a message home to come and pick me up.When you spend money on an EPIRB the best outcome is that you never need to use it. This Spot Messenger is obviously a much more useful device.

Product Description:
Give your loved ones full peace of mind when you're on the mountain with the Spot Satellite Messenger. Whether you're just checking in, allowing others to track your progress, or calling for help, Spot gives you a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. Spot employs a GPS satellite network to acquire its coordinates, then sends its location to the recipient of your choice, complete with a link to Google Maps and a pre-programmed message. Unlike personal locator beacons, however, Spot does more than just call for help. The SpotChecking feature, for example, lets you notify your SpotTeam--the friends and family you've chosen as your contacts--and tell them all is well, notify them of your location, or save waypoints so you can review your route at a later date. You can also activate the SpotCasting feature to let friends and family follow your progress in real time (every 10 minutes). Anyone with access to your account information can log on and view your route, complete with virtual views provided by Google Maps. SpotCasting is a terrific feature for mountain climbers looking to celebrate their accomplishments with their loved ones.
