Peace Of Mind Everyday, Emergency Assistance When You Need It.

SPOT is the device the AOPA called “an a-ha! moment for general aviation.” SPOT lets you live your life and tell others exactly where you are and how you’re doing – in real time. Because SPOT uses satellites, it works in places cell phones never will.

Now you can let your spouse know you’re OK, ask for help from friends and family, or track your flightpath and show it to others back at home in real time, all while you’re in the air. In trouble? Hold the 9-1-1 button to alert emergency responders around the world for critical assistance. Of course, SPOT is just as useful when you land.

ALERT 9-1-1: Press and hold the 9-1-1 button to alert emergency responders of life-threatening events. The GEOS Emergency Response Center will work with public response agencies around the world, and call your emergency contacts to find out more about your situation and keep them informed of rescue progress. GEOS works with all rescue agencies from the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and Coast Guard to local urban and rural 9-1-1 call centers. Optionally, GEOS will also dispatch private rescue agencies in those countries where public resources won’t do. 911 sends a message and location update every 5 minutes until cancelled.

ASK FOR HELP: Not every situation is life-threatening. Press “HELP” to let friends and family know where you are and what your situation is. They’ll get a text message on their cell phone and an email with a link to Google Maps so they can assist. Help sends a message and location update every 5 minutes for 1 hour or until cancelled. 

CHECK IN: Lets your contacts know you’re okay, or save your location for later viewing on the SPOT web service using Google Maps. Great to let your spouse know that you are running late, mark a location, or just remember a special place. Contacts can get a text message with your GPS location and an e-mail with a link to Google Maps. For maximum reliability, Check-in sends the same message from the messenger three times, and delivers the first to all of your contacts.

TRACK PROGRESS: Save your trip or show others where you are in real time.
Press and hold the “OK/Check” button for 5 seconds. Now, Track Progress updates your location every 10 minutes to your SPOT web account. You can fly and your family and friends can see exactly where you are in real time, without interrupting your fun. Give them your password to view your account as you travel, or save your tracks for viewing later using Google Earth (.KML), or GPX, the GPS data format.
