- I'm looking for something that can be used to contact 911 and send GPS location when no cell signal is available. That is the key here, No Cell Signal Available, it must use GPS to contact 911.
Basically, it would be the functionality of SPOT SATELLITE MESSENGER :: HOME PAGE without the tracking information. I'm not looking to let people know where I am, or sending updates, just the ability to contact 911 via GPS if I am in an area with not cell coverage.05-18-10 06:37 PMLike 0 - Just to provide more info. Spot, I believe, actually uses SATELLITE communications to relay your location (besides the obvious gps satellites) back to an earth station. In other words, the Spot device is not a cell "phone" but a satellite "phone" which is why it can work in very remote locations where there would be no cell service.05-18-10 07:04 PMLike 0
