SPOT satellite GPS messenger
Staff
$150 retail
Outdoors enthusiasts in Arizona are blessed with miles of trails, oodles of camp grounds and sparkling lakes and streams. About the only thing that can ruin a good romp in the woods is getting lost. The SPOT satellite GPS messenger can help avoid that embarrassment. It alerts emergency responders to your GPS location; lets contacts know where you are and that you’re OK; sends and saves your location and allows contacts to track your progress; and requests help from your friends and family at your GPS location. It retails for about $150, but check the Web site for mail-in rebates. The SPOT also requires a basic service plan that starts at about $100 a month. Available at most sporting goods stores or visit www.findmespot.com.
