Marinemart Boating Supplies Prevents Recession-Induced Safety Lapses with the SPOT Satellite Messenger
Marinemart.com customers have asked for an economical substitute for an EPIRB during this rough recession. Marinemart’s answer is SPOT, the world’s first satellite messenger. Boaters give up nothing with regards to safety and also enjoy some unique emergency response benefits with SPOT. For just $49.00 including a mail-in rebate, Marinemart Boating Accessories allows both boaters at sea and their loved ones ashore to be comfortable without draining the bank account.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) November 13, 2009 -- Money is tight and Marinemart Boating Accessories knows it. Yet boaters still want to enjoy the water. Marinemart.com is announcing that sacrificing safety in a recession is unnecessary. EPIRBs are great investments and Marinemart has plenty of them. However, EPIRBs might cost a little more than folks are willing to spend right now. When the economy rebounds, come back to Marinemart Boating Supplies for their excellent EPIRB options. However, until the recession becomes a distant memory like teen acne, the best related safety item is SPOT, the world’s first Satellite Messenger.
In many ways the SPOT is better than an EPIRB. Using the GPS network, it can send a location with a link to Google MapsTM and even include a pre-programmed message. For those who think a GPS safety device should do more than S.O.S., welcome to the club. SPOT can track travel progress, check in with loved ones, and request non-emergency assistance as well as initiate emergency distress calls.
The coverage is mind-blowing. It includes virtually all of the continental USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, portions of South America, North Africa and Northeastern Asia, and, of course, hundreds to thousands of miles off shore from these areas.
Despite the low cost, mariners give up nothing with regard to critical emergencies. The GEOS International Emergency Response Center can receive an exact location and alert the appropriate worldwide emergency responders. A SPOT signal is sent every five minutes until the user cancels it. Not only are first responders like the Coast Guard notified, but local police or an embassy or consulate may also be made aware of a distress signal depending on the location.
Even if satellites are malfunctioning and it has trouble triangulating a position, SPOT will attempt to send a distress call every five minutes without an exact location to an Emergency Response Center. Personal emergency contacts are notified, regardless. SPOT will continue to monitor the satellites and transmit an exact location whenever the GPS network allows.
Since it’s a Marinemart Boating Accessories product, people know it’s reliable. A self-diagnostic test is performed each time at power-up. There’s also a function to allow a manual test of the system at the owner’s leisure. The manual test is not only a full system check, but also sends a test message to emergency contacts as a ‘human dependability’ trial run.
The SPOT costs just $49.00 until 12/31/09 with a $50 mail-in rebate. A negligible-cost service plan will allow unlimited 9-1-1 usage. Remember, this is not only life-saving equipment, but an everyday utility machine for boaters, their friends and loved ones on the boat, plus a source of continual comfort and information for friends and loved ones ashore.
