Retrace Your Steps or Just Say, ‘I’m All Right,’ by Satellite
The Spot Satellite Tracker uses a network of Global Positioning Satelites to track the users. Different from other Satellite Beacons because you can press 3 different buttons to summon help. The Spot can store your position over time, then replay the trip in Google Maps. Its “check O.K.” feature lets you send a signal to loved ones, informing them that you are fine. If a message does not go through every few days, they will be alerted that something is amiss. The “Ask for Help” function notifies friends and family of your location and tells them you might need a pickup. Finally, the 911 mode alerts the authorities — and supplies G.P.S. coordinates — in an emergency.
