Whether you are sailing oceans or climbing mountains, this is the device for you if you want to track your trail over long distances and remain in touch for emergency purposes. The Spot 2 Satellite GPS Messenger is an improved version of the earlier Spot and features stronger and faster GPS acquisition while being thirty percent lighter. Designed to send out your status, location, messages and calls for assistance, this personal location device provides almost worldwide coverage. In case of an emergency the SOS function sends your exact location to emergency responders while the Help feature allows you to send requests for assistance from family and friends.
Spot 2 also tracks your progress as it sends and saves points along the route. Powered by 3 AAA size lithium batteries, Spot 2 has a run time of up to 3 months on standby power, 6 days when in SOS mode and 7 days when in Track Progress mode. Finally, you can export your data toTracksEdge for us to personalize a memento of your trip of a lifetime.
