Spotting a need...
01 Mar 2008
SPOT uses satellite technology allowing it to work where mobile phones do not, providing users with a lifeline to receive help at their exact location, wherever that may be. SPOT is the first product of its kind, providing the user and their loved ones with peace of mind.
For the first time, this lifesaving technology is now available to the everyday consumer making SPOT an essential part of any outdoor adventurer’s kit. SPOT can help guard against potentially life threatening situations, allowing people to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors. The simple four button design has four main functions that ensure safety and piece of mind for outdoor pursuits.
| 911: Dispatches emergency services to your exact location using GPS co-ordinates. |
| Help: Request help from selected friends and family through SMS text messages, or emails with a link to Google Maps which show your exact location. |
| Check In: Allows you to let friends and family know that all is well, notify them of your location, or save waypoints so you can review your route at a later date. |
| Track Progress: Allow friends and family to follow your progress in real time, or save waypoints to view your entire route at a later date using Google Maps |
The device has already received global recognition with two prestigious accolades - The 2008 Innovations Design and Engineering Award from the Consumer Electronics Association and the Spring 2008 Cabela’s Buyers’ Choice Gold Medal Award.
Chris Northmore, Managing Director of SM Group ( Europe) Ltd comments, “We are delighted to add such an innovative product as SPOT to our catalogue. We are continually searching to find new products to distribute and with SPOT’s unique features we feel that we have a product which adds to our range without directly competing with existing products”.
