'SPOT' GPS Personal Tracker introduced by ExtremeGB.com
EXTREMEGB.COM PRESS RELEASE April 21, 2008.
SPOT GPS PERSONAL TRACKER: GLOBAL SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR TRAVELLERS AND ADVENTURERS.
"SPOT", a potentially life-saving piece of equipment, has been introduced by ExtremeGB.com, the UK's leading online retailer of outdoor and adventure goods.
SPOT is a new and unique product for travelers and adventurers which can send a signal back to monitoring teams or potential rescuers through the satellite system asking for help - or confirming they're safe, well and on-track.
The message includes the exact co-ordinates of the person holding the SPOT, and a web link to view their location using Google maps.
"Walkie-talkies, and, more recently, mobile phones or sat phones, have become the default communication device for people who go well off the beaten track - deserts, jungles, wastes or oceans - but each of those has its limitations, either coverage, range or size," said Ed Giles of ExtremeGB.com.
"SPOT is a small device which can send pre-programmed messages asking for help at its location, emergency assistance in a life-threatening situation, or send messages confirming everything's going to plan - and confirming location every few minutes."
Priced at £139.50, there is also a subscription charge dependent upon use.
At the heart of the security provided by SPOT is 9-1-1 International Emergency Response Centres operated by GEOS, the global satellite monitoring, tracking and safety organisation. In addition to the peace of mind delivered by this partnership, GEOS can offer additional benefits to enhance the safety and security of users €99.00/year basic satellite service subscription includes:
