"SPOT Trace is a cost effective tracking product that will give
loyal SPOT users and new users across the globe assurance that
their personal assets are safe," said Jay Monroe, CEO and Chairman
of Globalstar. "SPOT Trace is the latest advancement in our
commitment to build products that reach an audience beyond the
traditional mobile satellite service user that are relevant to
millions of people globally."
SPOT Trace users can view their boat, ATV, motorcycle or other
asset's GPS coordinates online 24 hours a day in near real-time
through Google MapsTM. With multiple mounting options, SPOT Trace
is small and durable enough to be placed practically anywhere. With
up to 18 months of battery life, affordable rate plans and
satellite coverage that goes beyond the reach of cellular coverage,
there is no comparable product on the market to track anything,
anytime, anywhere. Some other SPOT Trace features include:
- Tracking. View your asset's GPS coordinates
from your smartphone or online
- Movement Alerts. Receive texts/emails when
SPOT's vibration sensor detects your asset has new movement
- Dock Mode. Configure your device to track an
asset that is primarily stored on the water
- Power Off Message. Receive a notification if
your device is powered off
- Low Battery Message. Receive a notification
when the device's batteries are low
- Status Message. Receive a once per day alert
to let you know your asset is secure
SPOT Trace also features customizable tracking, which allows
users to track an asset's GPS coordinates at 2 ½, 5, 10, 30 or 60
minute intervals. The units will sell starting at $99.95,
with service plans from $99.99/year.
