Globastar Inc. is on the spot with its new SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger device. This latest update offers a new form factor, extended battery life, new power options, and new upgraded tracking options with unlimited and extreme tracking- which allows users to choose the rate at which the tracking messages are sent.
It can send out a GPS waypoint every 2.5 minutes in the Extreme Tracking, while users can check with friends and family with a pre-programmed message. There is even the SOS option that can send out a GPS location to GEOS for search and rescue teams.
The Gen3 is very much on the SPOT.
There are places where phones won’t work, and if you need help you might find yourself reduced to smoke signals –unless you have the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. This rugged, pocket-sized device works where mobile handsets will not, and offers users the ability to send real-time, on-the-fly messages via text or social media. It features an option to allow your location to be transmitted in real-time. It can help notify emergency responders locate you in a pinch, but can also be used to just “check in” while you’re otherwise off the grid.
