Your stored waypoints can be easily integrated into a SPOT Shared Page or SPOT Adventure account. 
  • Custom Message: This feature allows you to let your friends and family receive a custom message along with your GPS location with a push of a button.

Using fully charged Energizer Ultimate AAA Lithium batteries under the specified usage environments, the following guidelines apply to the anticipated battery life of the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger:

Testing of SPOT under common usage environments has shown that battery performance can be degraded in operating environments where SPOT's GPS must take a longer time to acquire your GPS location, such as trying to send a message indoors or under extreme canopies. For optimal performance, please try and utilize SPOT in locations with a clear view of the sky with the logo side up. SPOT also recommends that you carry extra Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.
