When your adventures lead you beyond cell reception, the SPOT Gen3 can let family and friends know you're ok or send emergency services direct to your location, all at the push of a button. Add this rugged, pocket-sized device to your essential gear and stay safe and connected wherever you roam. Long live adventure!
SPOT Gen3's customized tracking features take your SPOT experience to the next level. Only with SPOT Gen3 is tracking motion-activated with Unlimited or Extreme tracking upgrades. A vibration sensor tells your SPOT to send track updates when you are moving and to stop when you do. (This is a great new battery-saving feature! And, you don't have to remember to re-set your tracking after 24 hours.) ??
New Tracking Options:??
- Unlimited Tracking: Set it and forget it! Pre-set your SPOT Gen3 to send tracks at the speed of your adventures. Change your tracks to send every 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes. SPOT Gen3 will send tracks at your chosen rate for as long as your device is turned on and moving (no need to re-set after 24 hours). Tracking doesn't stop until you do.
- ??Extreme Tracking: Get all of the great features of Unlimited Tracking, but with the added ability to vary your track rate down to every 2 ½ minutes. Don't miss a step with increased track rates!
Enhanced features only available with the new SPOT Gen3:
- Longer Battery Life: SPOT Gen3 has approximately twice the battery life of the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger! ??Battery Options: Now there are more options for how you power your SPOT:
- 4 AAA Energizer® Ultimate Lithium 8x Batteries (L92)
