SPOT takes centre stage
It's been featured heavily in both national and specialist press recently; but there's still more to SPOT than meets the eye.
SPOT Inc., the pioneer behind the award-winning SPOT Satellite Messenger has recently launched the beta release of SPOT shared pages - a free, easy-to-use web-based software application that enables users to share their GPS location waypoints and SPOT messages with others via an email link, displaying sophisticated mapping and real time tracking on Google Maps.
The shared pages service is a no-charge optional feature that is available to any SPOT subscriber so others can view their SPOT messages whether they have a SPOT account or not. The user creates his or her shared page, chooses what information is to be shown and emails a web link to friends and family. Currently, shared pages can display the last 24 hours of any subscriber's SPOT data. Later this summer it is expected users will be able to share up to seven days' worth of information. Shared pages can be either password protected for limited access or available to the general public without restriction.
Weighing just over 7 ounces and sold at £149.95, the SPOT satellite messenger provides a new level of safety and peace-of-mind for anyone who spends a considerable amount of time in the outdoors or just wants to stay connected with a line of communication.
