The new SPOT 3 Satellite Messenger is a revolutionary device and service combination.  It has a built-in GPS reciever and uses satellite phone technology to send GPS position data to friends, family and/or emergency rescue personnel in the event of an emergency almost anywhere in the world !
 
They can send "OK" or "Help Needed" messages via e-mail or mobile phone text messages.  By clicking on the link in the e-mail message your friends and family can see exactly where you were when the message was sent on a Google map web page.
 
The unit can also automatically send position updates every 10 minutes that can be viewed on Google maps when logged into the SPOT user web site. This is great for XC pilots and in the event of an accident where the pilot can't activate the HELP button it clearly shows the current position. This is a superior level of safety to EPIRB's which require a manual switch on for rescue to be initiated - this can't happen if the pilot is injured and unable to perform the task, were as with SPOT tracking you are never alone even if unconscious !

SPOT 3 is available and in stock now for only AUD$199 inc GST and delivery !

More Information ...
 
The new version of the SPOT is called SPOT 3 and is superior to the original SPOT1 &2 . It uses the same service as the existing SPOT units but offers some very nice new features. It is 30% smaller, 30% lighter, has a better GPS engine, and an improved user interface.
 
The new Track button and light addresses an issue with the first version which had no indication as to whether or not the unit was in track mode. The other major improvement is called "Tracking Message Queuing". SPOT 2 now sends the current tracking location and the previous two locations in every tracking data burst (three bursts every 10 minutes).
