Full Description:

We say at the beginning that this is NOT a toy. It is a unique device with some very interesting features. Whereas PLB’s and EPIRB’s are only used in Emergency, SPOT gets most of it’s use in other ways whilst still being there for Emergency. SPOT uses 100% satellite technology, so (not like a cell phone) you don’t have to worry about coverage. SPOT covers virtually all of North and South America, northern Africa, northeastern Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand and hundreds or thousands of miles offshore of these areas. So SPOT can be used at home in NZ or when away travelling the world.

SPOT 406 allows you to send your exact location and pre-set messages to friends, family and emergency assistance independently of coverage.

Having purchased a SPOT 406 you then subscribe* (approx. US$115 p.a.) directly to the SPOT international service. Having done that you can then access the following.

  • Alert 911 - Notify emergency responders of your GPS location. They in turn notify rescue services in the country of activation.
  • OK Check in�- Let up to 10 contacts know where you are and that you are OK
  • HELP - Request help from up to 10 friends and family giving your exact location. One of the features that makes SPOT unique is that you could make your alarm monitoring service or an answer service one of the 10 contacts and then you get the message from them by phone.
  • Track – By (optional extra US$50) turning on the tracking mode you can send and save your location as you travel and allow contacts to track your progress using Google Maps™ pictures.
  • New Application - Sales or Rental. Using the latest technology we can now link 10 units to display individual positions on one screen using Google Maps. Ideal for Event Organisers to monitor races and group events. This is a new service for us and so Rental Enquiries require plenty of advance notice to enable set up.

(i)�We will send your new purchase to you by Next Day CourierPost within NZ

*(This subscription although not inconsiderable brings the first years cost including the unit to about $440 (about 60% of a PLB). If you subscribe every year (not compulsory) after about three or four years you approximate the cost of a PLB. However by then you are starting to think in terms of a new battery for the PLB (c $350) or a new PLB if the battery can’t be changed)
