- Spot Spot 2 GPS Messenger for $10 (expired)
$10 with free shipping.
This is a GPS locator/messenger device.
To use, this will require a $99 annual subscription.
Detailed description can be seen on REI.com.
Be sure to read the reviews as some are a bit mixed.
As one reviewer writes, this is not a substitute for a real Emergency Locator Beacon which would sell for $250 or more.
Those devices do not require an annual fee, and are what people take on mountain climbs and in remote areas when being located would be the difference between life & death.
This device looks and feels cheap, plus it requires a $99 annual subscription to use.
But as some people write, this works to send your contacts your GPS location with pre-defined messages that include your current location, such as "I'm OK, here's where I am" or "I need help."
According to the reviews though, it has some battery problems and some messages are sent with no location included.
In a real emergency, it may be best to have a real Emergency Locator Beacon.
