SPOT Connect works with your smartphone so you can send messages where there is no network coverage. Because SPOT communciations are based on a global satellite system, you can stay in contact virtually anywhere. In addition, the built-in GPS receiver lets you send your GPS co-ordinates as well.
Send text messages or a short email. Update Twitter and Facebook. Request non-emergency help from contacts or professional service providers. And in the case of a critical emergency, send an SOS message requesting emergency assistance.
Download the SPOT app to your phone, pair to SPOT Connect via Bluetooth and your phone is a satellite communicator.
