I'm a professional photographer making numerous trips a year to less than favorable places and conditions. I'm alone most of the time whether in the mountains or desert. SPOT gives my wife a sense of security knowing that I'm covered if an emergency arises. I've spoken with a lot of the rangers in our national parks and they wished more people would consider carrying a device like SPOT. Thanks for the peace of mind and keep up the great work.

This summer I traveled to 14 countries; Italy, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, France, Monaco and Spain with just my backpack, camera and SPOT. As a “single woman traveler” and an American too, I felt safe knowing I had security at my fingertips. This also kept my family and loved ones at ease as well.  They could track my movement and see what I saw by the satellite images from the point the Spot “OK” button was pressed. You could say it was like a virtual vacation for them.  

Thank you Spot for giving my family, loved ones and me the ease of traveling in today’s world. It was an unforgettable adventure.  

Thank you,

I just purchased a SPOT as my son and a friend were going to go to Alaska for a few months. It was so nice to get SPOT messages from them as they crossed Canada and as they arrived in Alaska. We hear from them about once a day and it has not only been comforting to know that they are safe but it is fun to be able to track them on the map. These things are great and I am telling all my friends about this neat tool. I thought cell phones were cool. Not! This thing works everywhere they are. I will keep you updated as they go.

I want to says thanks for supporting the Tour Divide race this year with the SPOT units. Mine worked great. I hardly noticed it was in the outside packet of my pack, just the two green blinking lights. My wife and friends could easily keep track of my location during the race. They could tell at what bike shop, camp site or restaurant I was. That is surprisingly accurate. I have several years of adventure race experience. Many of those races tried to use a GPS or similar unit to track the racers location. Nothing every worked. They were very heavy and cumbersome to use. The SPOT unit with its light weight and simple operation was awesome.

Thanks again for your support.

“As a professional skier and B.A.S.E. jumper, I wanted to let you know SPOT is awesome! It prevented a so-so bad day from becoming much worse. We were B.A.S.E. jumping an 800 foot cliff in Colorado when my friend broke her pelvis landing on some rocks. We were unsure of her injuries and concerned because she complained of lower back pain. The landing is about an hour hike away from the nearest road over boulders, trees, a water drainage and steep gullies. Knowing we couldn't move her, I hit the 911 button on SPOT. The helicopter made a textbook landing shortly after and flew her out to get the medical attention she needed. Thanks SPOT team!”
