AffinityOne Distributes in Australia
Myionu parent company AffinityOne Pty Ltd has announced that the all new SPOT Gen 3 should hit Australian streets later in November. SSP will be just $199 Inc GST.
When your adventures take you beyond cell service, SPOT Gen3 gives
you a critical, life-saving line of communication. The latest
generation of award-winning SPOT devices, SPOT Gen3 lets family and
friends know you’re okay or send emergency responders your GPS location,
all at the push of a button. Add this rugged, pocket-sized device to
your essential gear and stay connected wherever you roam.
New SPOT Gen3 Features
Choose your Track Rate: New upgraded tracking
options, Unlimited and Extreme Tracking, allow you to choose the rate at
which your tracking messages are sent – every 2 ½ , 5, 10, 30 or 60
minutes.
Extended Tracking Mode: Adventure doesn’t have a
time limit and neither should your tracking. When you upgrade to
Unlimited or Extreme tracking SPOT Gen3 will continue sending tracks for
as long as you keep moving or until the power runs out.
Motion-Activated Tracking: No matter the
tracking service level you choose, SPOT Gen3’s tracking has the added
benefit of being Motion Activated. A vibration sensor tells SPOT to send
tracks when you are moving and to stop when you do. This conserves
battery power and keeps your Shared Page from getting cluttered when you
stop to camp for the night.
Longer Battery Life: SPOT Gen3 has nearly twice
the battery life of the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger! Keep the
adventure going even longer, without the hassle of changing your
batteries.
New Power Options: Now there are more options
for how you power your SPOT! In addition to using the included 4 AAA
Energizer® Ultimate Lithium 8x batteries, you can use NiMH rechargeable
batteries or, line power your SPOT Gen3 with a 5v USB connection.
Managing Your SPOT Gen3: SPOT requires an active subscription for service. Set-up your account and choose your services at FindMeSPOT.com/activate.
From your SPOT account you can manage personal contacts, customize your
messages, set your rate of tracking, and edit emergency contact
information.
