SPOT messenger
This little beauty promises to give us a lot of help and communication while traveling.
For its size approximately 111mm x69mmx44 mm and about 210 grams in weight, it offers you a world wide satellite communication coverage. Often in areas where your normal cell phone will not.
This will offer you emergency help when you need it the most. This little beauty SPOT also allows you to communicate with friends and family while away on holidays. It gives out a message that you pre set. They can also track it with Google so they can follow your progress.
SPOT Messenger
The Way it works
When activated if you are in trouble, SPOT will find your exact co-ordinance from the GPS network, and send your location to the 911 emergency response center. They will then contact the local police or the necessary departments, involved in receiving the emergency signal, depending on which country you are in.
Security check
Each time you turn SPOT on it recommends that you go through a check system to make sure it is communicating correctly.
Battery
SPOT has a long life battery. It has its own on/off switch to avoid activating it by accident.
Land or Water
SPOT also works efficiently over land or water.

Evidently these work well in america and around the world. Also they communicate with family letting them know your wherabouts.
Good things always come in small sizes (packages).I am waiting for the day I own one.This looks very promising.Thanks for the info.
Yes I have been told they will be in Australia in a month. So waiting to see. Specs say they contact 911, but in australia our emergency is 000. So doing a bit more checking before we go away on trip before buying.
Good to hear about this new communication device even though I do not live in Australia, but I love hearing about all thing Aussie. I still hope to visit your beautiful country one day. I am glad you are writing these informative hubs to help people buy well performing communication devices and I see this one has a long life battery, which is essential.
Sounds like Christmas is going to come early for us. That is apart from the Nav System to show you the way home.
Thanks for the information
Sweetie pie. I have been looking for something safety wise and this like it could be a good backup. Especially regarding battery
Mr marmalade yes start shopping early for xmas. now is the time.
Good to know what's new...but I'm stuck in time with just the bare necessities.
I know exactly how you feel. thanks for stopping by
Useful device for emergencies, all seems rugged for outdoor use.
Nice and small so will not take up much room. Running out of room at the moment and have to check weight factor as well.
I love reading about new and useful technological devices such as this, designed to make people's lives safer and better. Super discovery and hub!
pjscott Yes technology is still going in leaps and bounds. thanks for stopping by
Not affiliated with the vendor, just a very happy customer. I ordered one from http://www.MyLiveTracks.com/ - got a prompt response to my inquiries, a 50% off coupon for the tracking service, and a great discounted price. Shipping was just a bit extra to cross the ocean. Highly recommend the unit as well as the vendor!

Hmmm, sounds very useful. Although you're not likely to be in a sledding accident out there in the wide, brown Land Down Under, are you? ;)
