Beschreibung

The SPOT Connect App pairs the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with SPOT Connect, a revolutionary satellite messenger engineered to transmit messages via satellite from virtually anywhere in the world, including remote locations.
The award-winning SPOT Connect device provides connectivity to the Globalstar satellite network for sending location-based messages from areas beyond cellular phone coverage or around town. By simply downloading the SPOT Connect App, SPOT Connect wirelessly synchs via Bluetooth® with Apple® iOS devices. The SPOT satellite message features are initiated directly from the app’s intuitive user interface.
SPOT Connect utilizes proven SPOT technology to notify others of one’s GPS location coordinates and current status. By sending a message to the Globalstar satellite network, the user’s selected contacts will receive a custom Type and Send or Predefined message delivered as an SMS text message or email. SPOT Connect messages contain the user’s latitude and longitude, date, time stamp and a link to maps. Established SPOT message features include Check-in/OK, Help, SPOT Assist, SOS and automated Track Progress.
SPOT Connect messaging feature overview:
•SOS - Emergency assistance request sent with your GPS location to GEOS every 5 min until batteries die or until cancelled. The GEOS International Emergency Response Center alerts the appropriate agencies worldwide – for example contacting 9-1-1 responders in North America and 1-1-2 responders in Europe. Custom Type & Send messages can be sent with SOS for detailed emergency information.
•Help/SPOT Assist* - Request help from friends and family or professional service providers every 5 min for 1 hour. Custom Type & Send messages can be sent with a Help/Assist message for more detailed personal help.
* SPOT Assist subject to availability.
•Check-in/OK - Send a Predefined Message or custom Type & Send message allowing your friends and family to get a message from you with your GPS location virtually anywhere on the globe. With a push of a button a message is sent via email or SMS to a contact group. You can also send your Check-in/OK messages to social sites like Facebook or Twitter.
•Track Progress - This feature allows you to send and save your location and allow contacts to track your progress in near real time using maps. With your SPOT account you have the ability to set up a SPOT Shared Page which allows you to show your SPOT GPS locations to others on a map. (Additional service required).
The SPOT Connect App extends the functionality of Apple® devices while making available new features for customers. Custom messages can now be composed and sent on-the-go. Users can store up to 14 Predefined messages and 10 personal contract groups consisting of up to 50 contacts each. Additionally, the SPOT Connect App turns devices like iPod touch or iPad Wi-Fi into a satellite messenger utilizing SPOT Connect’s onboard GPS and satellite transmitter. Users can even send location-based messages to Facebook and Twitter from isolated regions such as mountainous terrain and areas off-shore.
Overview:
• Uses the GPS satellite system to determine location and the Globalstar satellite network to transmit that information to personal contacts or an international emergency response center
• Send location-based messages via satellite to others delivered as SMS text or email
• Send custom “Type and Send” 41 character text messages from your location
• Update social networks including Facebook and Twitter from remote locations
• Provide GPS functionality to non-GPS devices
• Store up to 10 predefined messages for quick reference and sending
• Store 10 contact groups on device – each group can consist of up to 50 contacts
• On device SOS button for standalone emergency operation
• Bluetooth wireless connection
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Won’t connect

As other reviews have mentioned, this app doesn’t work any more. I was able to get my iPhone to connect to the device in Bluetooth settings (with some trouble), but the app still can’t find the device. I HOPE the SOS button on the side of the device will still work, but I’m a little apprehensive about relying on it since the app doesn’t. Sure happy I renewed the yearly contract for $200 🙄

Cannot Connect since IOS 9

It's always been tricky to make connect now fails completely. Also firmware update for device is not working.

Useless as an emergency tool

Been a SPOT user since gen 1 and a SPOT connect since its release. App & unit unusable after iOS 9, if I get it to connect it then goes to "sleep" after a few minutes and will not reconnect the it's Bluetooth connection for days. I've rebooted the phone, changed expensive lithium batteries in the unit and tried every tip hey give but the device just cannot be counted upon to work in an emergency any more. SPOT discontinued the item but still gladly takes my money for a messaging account. I'm going to look into Delorme's offering :/

Lame

The interface is terrible.

Bluetooth troublesome

I've had the Spot Connect for two years now. It works, but is a hassle to connect to Bluetooth each home the unit is turned on. The iPhone shows the connection, but the app doesn't see it. Cycling Bluetooth on the phone usually fixes it, but still a hassle, especially when attention is needed elsewhere and not fiddling with the phone. Unforgivable that this is not fixed yet. I'll buy DeLorme next time.

Not as promised and seems to have some "shady" reviews

Blacksheep10 on

The reviews that state it worked with no cell service and instructed you how to pair it with Bluetooth are very suspicious ...this app isn't worth the money and the staff in support are clueless ad rude. I know now where AOL sends its retiring customer service reps to continue the fight against the human race. This app is nothing what it promises and is the worst of worst ad where did all the negative reviews go?cant give it less than one star or it would be a negative two. Steer clear!!

Unreliable still

After reading all of the negative reviews I was very aprehensive about my husband using this with his new iPad and the ios7. He used it last year with his older one with no problems but I was afraid this time we would have issues. Not so. After a bit of trouble connecting with the bluetooth it worked perfectly. He was hunting with our sons for over a week, no cell service, and we got a message every day from them. He said he never had any trouble with it losing it's connection to the device. We knew where they were at and that they were safe every single day. It's worth every penny! I'm not sure why other folks are having so many problems. One thing I did was connect through the bluetooth on the iPad before starting the app. It took a few times before I got it right.

Can't trust it

It is so fickle with blue tooth pairing and then runs through the lithium batteries like crazy. How are we supposed to trust this device when our lives may depend on it?
