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.
