transmit that information to the chosen recipient. SPOT gives you and your loved ones peace of
mind by allowing you to notify them or a GEOS International 9-1-1 Emergency Response Center
of your exact location via Google Maps, and to send for assistance in time of need around the

averages a greater than 99% message success rate.
