SPOT Satellite Messenger automatically acquires GPS coordinates to track and map your location via home computer. It also sends preprogrammed “check-in” or “help” messages to others, or quickly contacts 911 in case of emergencies. Because SPOT uses satellite technology, it works around the world—even where cell phones don’t. Contact SPOT Inc. at: (866) 651-7768; www.findmespot.com.

I have used this for the last three years and just remember you have to pay every year for the service. It is nice to let people know where you are but my family could never find me anyway. I leave a map and accidently set it off. My wife sent the to the other side of the state. They found me and I got to pay for the service again. It does not work in big mountains. If ou are hunting the inside of the range it won't connect to satlites. Just like GPS.
