- Important SPOT X Tips
- Keep your SPOT X at least 12 inches away from other GPS devices
- SPOT X needs a clear view of the sky with no obstructions to obtain a GPS signal and provide the most accurate location information
- SPOT X is not reliable indoors, at the bottom of a deep canyon, in a cave, in an abyss, or in very dense woods
- Orienting the SPOT X so that the antenna is pointing up toward the sky will improve performance
- Before heading off the grid, the manufacturer strongly recommend that you send a test message to ensure your device was activated properly. You can view your sent messages in your account at FindMeSPOT.com/MyAccount
How it Works: SPOT sends your GPS location and data to orbiting commercial satellites- GPS satellites provide signals
- SPOT messenger's onboard GPS chip determines your GPS location and sends your location and preselected message to communication satellites
- Communication satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the world
- Satellite antennas and a global network route your location and message to the appropriate network
- Your location and messages are delivered according to your instructions via email, text message, or emergency notification to the GEOS Rescue Coordination Center
- With SPOT X's new 2-way communication technology, your family and friends as well as GEOS can reply to or send a message to you from virtually anywhere in the world
- Rarely do you have cellular coverage boating far offshore or while exploring those remote islands. This device provides two-way satellite messaging so you can stay connected to family and friends, including direct communication with search and rescues services in case of a life-threatening emergency
- The SPOT product family uses both the GPS satellite network to determine a customer's location and the Globalstar network of satellites to transmit messages and GPS coordinates to others. SPOT offers several ways to access communication
- SPOT is a subsidiary of Globalstar, who owns the satellites used for communication services, so there is no worry of a change in satellite providers while you are off the grid
