SPOT announces SPOT Gen4 personal satellite tracker

SPOT Gen4 sends tracks at a chosen rate for as long as the device is turned on and moving, conserving battery life. Alerts can be set to auto send notifications to others when movement is detected or upon entry and exit of specific geographic areas in SPOT Mapping.

“The new SPOT Gen4 was designed for outdoor recreation, adventure enthusiasts or field personnel who travel beyond reliable cell coverage or go off-the-grid for work or pleasure. Its sleek yet rugged appeal is the perfect complement to our SPOT product line. The Gen4 offers enhanced tracking options and functionality through a robust SPOT mapping interface that truly adds value and peace of mind for users all over the world.”

Dave Kagan, CEO of Globalstar, Inc.
