In the event of a minor mishap, SPOT lets you request non-emergency help from friends or family. Or if things get truly out of hand, you can call in the cavalry via 9-1-1. In additions, SPOT lets you send a message to friends and family so they know you’re okay, allows them to track your progress and even saves your waypoints for later – all with virtual views provided by Google Maps™.

And since it’s all handled with satellite technology, you get coverage wherever you roam. Even where cell phones don’t.
