SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator for iPhone/Smartphone
No mobile phone signal? No problem. Turn your smartphone into a satellite communicator with the SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator for iPhone/Smartphone.
Today's smartphones provide a level of social connection far beyond what we could ever have imagined just a few years ago. But when you go beyond the reach of the grid, your smartphone needs the help of SPOT Connect to keep you in touch with friends, family and emergency personnel.
Simply pair your smartphone with SPOT Connect and get connected to a global satellite network that lets you send messages and GPS coordinates from virtually anywhere on the planet.
Update Twitter and Facebook. Send email and text messages. Request non-emergency help from professional service providers.
And in the case of a critical emergency, send an SOS message requesting emergency assistance.
*Services are payable by subscription (€99.00/year basic satellite service subscription) and **additional charges apply for Type & Send and Track Progress service plans.
SOS: Emergency assistance request sent with your GPS location to the GEOS International Emergency Response Center every 5 minutes until batteries die or until request cancelled. The GEOS Center alerts the appropriate agencies worldwide – for example, contacting 9-1-1 responders in North America and 1-1-2 responders in Europe.
Help: Request help from friends and family every 5 minutes for 1 hour. Up to 10 contacts via SMS and email.
Check-in/OK: Send a pre-defined message allowing your friends and family to know that all is OK along with your GPS location. With the push of a button, a message is sent via email or SMS to up to 10 pre-determined contacts and your waypoint is stored in your SPOT account for later reference. Your stored waypoints can be easily integrated into a SPOT Shared Page or SPOT Adventure account.
Track Progress: This feature allows you to send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress in near real time using Google Maps. With your SPOT account, you have the ability to set up a SPOT Shared Page which allows you to show your SPOT GPS locations to others on a Google Map (additional service required).
Type & Send: Use SPOT Connect to send custom email and text messages via satellites to your contacts. Create up to 41-character SOS, Help and Check-in/OK messages. Messages will be sent directly to the contact groups you select via email or SMS. You can even post custom messages on Twitter and Facebook. If you encounter problems, you can send custom SOS messages describing your situation with your GPS position included.
Social Networks: Don't lose the connection to your social networks when you venture off the cell phone grid. SPOT Connect with the basic service package enables you to send pre-defined messages to your favourite social destinations. The Type & Send function allows you to create short custom messages in the field, which you can send to social destinations or specific contacts via email or text message.
