• There are thousands of search and rescue missions initiated each year – most of those without knowledge of the exact location of the missing party.
• Not to mention the number of travelers who find themselves stranded without knowledge of their location or without wireless phone coverage.
• While the popularity of handheld GPS navigation systems and the increased coverage of wireless networks give some consumers a sense of security, the need exists for a device that overcomes the limitations of both these technologies.
• The SPOT Satellite Messenger was developed to address this need. Because it sends a message along with its exact location.
