The Message Sending light continues to blink for one (1) hour after the end of the Track Progress
message cycle to give you additional time to verify the status of your most recent message. In a hurry?
You can dismiss the light by activating any other function or by turning SPOT off and then on.
TO CANCEL:
You can stop any unsent messages by pressing and holding the Track Progress button until the light
turns off, or by turning off SPOT.
HOW SPOT PRIORITIZES TRACK PROGRESS MESSAGES
Help and SOS are prioritized over Track Progress - if you press the Help or SOS buttons while tracking,
SPOT will cancel any unsent messages and begin sending Help/SPOT Assist or SOS messages. Track
Progress is prioritized over Check-In/OK and Custom Message. If you are in Check-In/OK or Custom
Message mode and press Track Progress, it will start tracking and cancel your unsent Check-In/OK or
Custom Messages.
QUICK CHECK
You can send a Check-In/OK or Custom Message while you’re in Tracking. If Tracking is active, it will be
suspended long enough to send the Check-In/OK or Custom Message, then resume once the Check-In/
OK or Custom Message cycle is complete. This lets you easily update your contacts of your whereabouts
while in tracking. For example, if you’d like to send an “okay” message at the start of a trip to let your
friends know to follow your whereabouts on SPOT Adventures www.spotadventures.com, simply start
Track Progress, then press “Check-In/OK”. SPOT will send a Check-In/OK message then continue tracking.
TRACK PROGRESS
Send your location to allow contacts to track your progress in near real-time using Google Maps
or SPOT Adventures, giving them a virtual breadcrumb trail of your adventure. Also automatically
mark your waypoints to review later. Your contacts can see your progress on the web links that
you create in your SPOT account. Additional service fees may apply. See account information at
findmeSPOT.com to learn more.
MESSAGE CYCLE
Track Progress messages are sent every 10 minutes for 24 hours or until cancelled. You can re-engage
Track Progress at any time to restart the cycle. With each message, SPOT will include your GPS
location for the 2 previous track positions for a seamlessly reliable breadcrumb trail. If SPOT cannot
get a GPS signal, it will not send your message, but will try again at the next scheduled interval.
USING THE TRACK PROGESS FUNCTION:
Press and hold the Track Progress button until it blinks green. The GPS light will blink green when
SPOT sees the GPS satellites and while obtaining your GPS location.
Once your GPS location is obtained, SPOT will send your waypoint. The GPS light and Message
Sending light will both blink green for approximately 15 seconds. The Message Sending light
continues to blink green until the next scheduled message or until one (1) hour after the end of the
message cycle to notify you that your most recent message was transmitted.
If no GPS signal is found, the GPS light will blink red. You should move to a location with a clearer
view of the sky. SPOT will keep looking for your GPS location for up to 4 minutes.
If no GPS location is found in 4 minutes, SPOT will not send this particular waypoint. Both the
GPS light and the Message Sending light will blink red for approximately 15 seconds. SPOT will rest
for up to 6 minutes and try again at the time of the next scheduled message. The Message Sending
light will continue blinking until the next scheduled message or until one (1) hour after the end of the
message cycle.
