We would like to welcome Spot Sattelite Messenger on board as a 2012 event sponsor!!

The SPOT product family uses both the GPS satellite network to determine your location and the Globalstar network to transmit messages and GPS coordinates to others including an international rescue coordination center.

SPOT provides location-based messaging and emergency notification technology that allows you to communicate from remote locations around the globe completely independent of cellular phone or wireless coverage.

SPOT offers peace of mind by allowing you to notify friends and family of your GPS position and status, mark waypoints, track your progress on Google Maps or notify rescue officials in a critical emergency. For more information on how SPOT is helping others stay connected – from disaster preparedness to outdoor adventure – visit www.FindmeSPOT.com.
