About the Spot Satellite Messenger Tracking Device
This is an extremely powerful and useful personal GPS tracking device that can be utilized by many different people in many different situations. One of the main reasons for this versatility is that it works 100% off of satellite technology, making it usable in conditions where most GPS trackers will not work. It is especially great for those with a love for the outdoors since their adventures can often take them far from family, friends, and society.
The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger is a GPS tracking device and wireless communication device rolled into one. While there currently is not a voice functionality on this unit, one can still communicate in several nuances ways with this device. For example, one can:
- Send a SOS/911 message. If you are in a serious accident or situation this one button call for help can be, quite literally, a life saver.
- Send a Help message. If your situation is not dire but you need some help from a friend then you can notify them of your need with the press of a button.
- Check in with loved ones with an ‘Ok’ Message.
- Send a custom messages back to your family with your GPS determined location.
With four distinct ways to communicate with someone, the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger is very useful tool to have out in the wilderness for extended periods of time.

As I sit and read these posts, I realize how fortunate I am with health and family. I want one of these for my son, who “has more chromosomes than your kid”
– because we love to go hiking and camping. However after reading these posts above, I have to say that the only reason I want to win now is in order to PAY IT FORWARD as a gift to a friend of mine whose child has autism and wanders off without communicating. She could really use it more than me – and I am blessed enough to save up and buy one and she is a single mother who is unemployed.
My father has begun his grand adventure, and my children are going to spend the summer with him. We live in Alberta, but our two young children ( 13 and 11 ) will be spending a month with their grand-father sailing from London, Ont. to Moncton, NB. Though I have infinate faith in my dad and his skills as a skipper. I also realize he will be the only adult on board, and alot can happen at sea. It would give my wife and her parents a little peice of mind to know exactly where the children are at any given moment. It would also be comforting for the kids to know that as long as they had the device, we could find them.
I’d LOVE to win the Spot GPS locator…..my boss just told me about them (he’s an avid rock climber, kayaker, etc. It would be perfect for my husband and I, who are just starting out wilderness camping, kayaking etc!
Hi, I would love to win a Spot GPS locator, I havea 87yr old father, who has the onset of Alzheimer’s, my greatest fear is for him to wander & get lost, the thought of him somewhere alone & scared just terrifies me, I have been doing alot of research and although there are items out there, i just don’t have the finances, I work all day & for the 9 1/2 hrs that i’m gone i worry, as it is i call him every hour on the hour & when he doesn’t answer, i am fortunate enough right now to have a family member who lives close enough & is unemployed at the time, who will drive by & do a well check for me, this would be a god-send. thank you for giving people like me an opportunity to win somethings as fantastic as this gift.
