I love my new Spot Satellite Messenger that I got for Christmas. It is easy to use, works well ( if you follow the directions and read the manual ), and could save you or a loved ones life. It is so great to give peace of mind to loved ones. Their Website is also friendly and informative. I love their training videos. I used it on a recent trip to the Canadian Rockies and it was so cool how I could sent regular update messages to my love ones letting them know I was 'ok' up there. I had no trouble with messages getting out. You must remember that this is a satellite device so you must have a clear view of the sky for it to work. The signal it sends is very weak and the satellites very far away. It amazing how it can contact the satellites as it is so small and only using 2 AA batteries for power. That is amazing ! It is a must have device for travelers, explorers, hikers, rock-hounders, geocachers, bikers, walkers, motorists, truckers, boaters, hunters, fisherman, pilots, and especially tech enthusiasts. Highly recommended ! This device can offer your loved ones great peace of mind, is fun to use, and most importantly could save you or a friend's life.
Very inexpensive life insurance to be able to have 911 access, anywhere you can see the sky. Reliable long lived lithium batteries. Tracking GPS location and policy to provide rescue services up to $100,000 is very impressive. This is a must have devive for folks who like to venture off the beaten path.
I've had mine a couple of days. Put the batteries in, look over the brief instructions, sign up for the service, and you're in business in an hour or so. Fairly intuitive. Does just what it claims. An amazing product!
