Take the stress out of your off the beaten path adventures, by setting yourself up with the Gen4 device from SPOT so you can communicate with emergency services, friends, and family outside of mobile coverage.

The SOS feature provides you with a line of communication with the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center which will give your GPS coordinates and information to local response teams at the push of a button. The tracking feature allows you to set up a vibration sensor which sends tracking updates when you stop and when you’re on the move. You’ll be able to check-in with your nearest and dearest, by pre-programming an email or text with your GPS co-ordinates with up to 10 people which can also be used for a SPOT Adventures account. There’s also a custom message function which you can use to send a secondary OK message, or the help/S.OV. function which will alert your personal contacts that you need some assistance in non-threatening situations.

Designed to be rugged as well as compact to fit in with your lightweight adventures, the SPOT Gen4 is an absolute essential for staying safely connected outside.
