Spot On
The Sunday hike seemed like a good idea. But now you’re trapped between a wild boar and a 500-foot cliff and your cell phone cut out a few miles ago. Your trusty GPS knows exactly where you are, but no one else has a clue. Luckily, you’ve got SPOT at your side. The SPOT satellite messenger is connected to a 24-hour call center called GEOS 911 that tracks your location via a GPS network and sends a response team when the 911 button is pressed. Or reassure loved ones by setting the messenger to Track Progress and have them track you on Google Maps. All signals use satellite technology, so you’re sure to get a signal where cell phone service is unavailable, leaving you free to play Survivorman in safety. www.findmespot.com
