Shortly after the Kim Family tragedy in 2006, Global Star Telecommunications developed the spot beacon.
I have had excellent service with mine, a three year old model.
For complete details of the SPOT visit http://www.findmespot.com/.
Last fall I posted a short article on my website about SPOT. I offered some suggestions on it's use. Read it here.
A couple of thoughts come to mind.
- Keep your contact list current. Take contact names off your list (done on line via http://www.findmespot.com/) if they are no longer valid. If someone is going to Hawaii on vacation they might not be the best pick now.
- Only the most reliable people should be on your contact list.
- Practice with your SPOT before you leave.
- Place it in your pack where the on/off button won't be accidentally pushed.
