Spot Features and Benefits
Findmespot.com offers a range of products with key features and benefits.
SPOT Gen4 is a Satellite GPS Messenger that lets family, friends, and colleagues know you are OK, or if the unexpected should happen, sends your GPS location to emergency responders all with the push of a button. This device is meant for adventure and gives you a critical, life-saving line of communication when you travel beyond the boundaries of reliable cellular service. It offers features like SOS, Tracking, Check In, Custom Message, and HELP/R.A.P..
The Global Overwatch & Rescueâ„¢ Plan in SPOT My Account protects you against expenses related to an emergency situation. This plan provides extensive travel medical and security assistance benefits, including no cost evacuations for users who choose the annual plan.
SPOT X is a 2-Way Satellite Messenger that provides 2-way satellite messaging when you’re off the grid or beyond reliable cellular coverage. It connects to your smart phone via Bluetooth wireless technology through the SPOT X app to access your contacts and communicate easily with family, friends, or directly with Search & Rescue services in a life-threatening situation.
Both SPOT Gen4 and SPOT X offer two different service subscription options - Contract Plan or Monthly Flex Plan. Contract plans are perfect for get-up-and-go year 'round use with an added benefit of monthly payment. Flex plans are best for seasonal use and only require a one-month subscription.
