We are please to announce the new SPOT, Global Satellite Messenger. This product is a great way to "boat safer". With the push of a button you can notify authorities that you are having an emergency and need rescue, or you can notify your family/friends that you are fine and are just staying out later than expected. Even has a tracking feature that can be viewed online from a PC. See below for details -

Whether you’re just checking in, allowing others to track your progress, or calling for help – SPOT gives you a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want it, and emergency assistance when and where you need it. And since it utilizes 100% satellite technology, SPOT works around the world – even where cell phones don’t.
