I got a SPOT for the Saddlesore 1000 trip Dave and I did a month ago. This last week my wife and I drove from CA to WI and back, and used the SPOT to let family watch our progress, which became quite entertaining for them. To get it to work I needed to have it on the dash, otherwise it wouldn't get a message out.

All in all, a nice safety device, with possible entertainment value.

But, I didn't understand what the FireEagle option was when signing up for service.

But, I didn't understand what the FireEagle option was when signing up for service.

FireEagle is a Yahoo! social networking network. Basically you sign up for FireEagle and in the SPOT section you get a promo-code that gets you one years service for free when you sign up for it on the SPOT site.

Below is the description quoted from the FireEagle SPOT detail page.

Now extended through December 31st!

For a limited time, SPOT is offering Fire Eagle users a one-year subscription to SPOT basic and tracking services and a discounted SPOT satellite messenger!

Use SPOT with Fire Eagle to update your location from most anywhere around the world and share your SPOT location with any other Fire Eagle applications.

So effectively, you sign up at FireEagle, get the promo code, Register at SPOT, and save yourself $150 the first year.

The short answer is that Fire Eagle is not a social network. Their job is to make it possible for any service online to respond to your location -- They're here to play with other social networks to help you make the best use of your location information

Ok gang, the SPOT $50 rebate is over. That's bad news AND good news.

The bad news is that the $50 rebate from SPOT is over but the good news is that, since it's over we can once again offer our 10% off coupon for the SPOT Satellite Messenger (http://www.cyclenutz.com/products/gps_navigation/spot_satellite_personal_tracker.html) which will reduce the norman $150 cost by $15 . Sorry, I'm not allowed to do the math for you but it's pretty simple ;) .

Just use coupon code SPOT10 at checkout and the discount will be applied.

On the SPOT news front, today they just told us about a roadside assistance program that they will be offering as part of the service.

SPOT Unveils SPOT Assist, the World’s First Satellite-Based Roadside GPS Safety Service
Thursday, 08 January 2009 00:00

Consumers Can Now Benefit From the Safety and Peace-of-Mind Associated Satellite-based Roadside Service over the Inherent Limitations of Cellular-Based Offerings

LAS VEGAS, NV - (January 8, 2009) – SPOT LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT) and a leader in personal satellite messaging and emergency communications, today announced SPOT Assist, a new roadside GPS safety service for its award-winning SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™. SPOT Assist offers the world’s only roadside assistance that operates solely on satellite technology for virtually seamless coverage independent of cellular networks. SPOT is showcasing its products and new services this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in booth number 5218 in the Tech Zone located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

SPOT Assist’s roadside service will offer complete 24 hour assistance 7 days a week in the Continental United States and Canada later this spring. By simply activating SPOT Assist with the “Help” button on the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger, users can instantly alert a national roadside response center of their GPS location. Backed by a leading provider of national roadside assistance, SPOT Assist services include roadside towing, auto-accident assistance, fuel services, tire repair, battery service, lost key and lockout.

Unlike conventional services, such as OnStar, that relay positioning through cellular networks, SPOT Assist combines a GPS receiver with satellite communications technologies to deliver location-based messaging independent of cellular coverage. The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger is a small, rugged and hand-held GPS unit that can access a world-wide satellite network system to keep you connected virtually anywhere you roam. The SPOT Assist roadside service is expected to be available in other countries later in 2009.

"Our customers have been using SPOT primarily off-road and outside of cellular range to check-in with loved ones or to get help in a real emergency resulting in increased safety and security for outdoor enthusiasts,” said Tom Colby, COO of Globalstar and President of SPOT LLC. “SPOT Assist is an innovative extension of the SPOT product portfolio, and represents one more in a growing list of ways in which SPOT is continuing to deliver services that help to ensure the personal safety and security of our customers around the world at a very modest cost.”

Now with SPOT Assist roadside service, SPOT customers can benefit from a complete GPS safety system which includes four functions that transmit messages based on varying levels of need:
• Help notifies the SPOT Assist roadside response center or others of your GPS location
• Check In lets contacts know where you are and that you are okay
• Track Progress sends and saves your location and allows contacts to track your progress using Google Maps™
• Alert 9-1-1 notifies an emergency rescue coordination center of your GPS location

Since its introduction in December 2007, the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger has helped initiate close to 100 rescues, many which resulted in lives saved, and has transmitted more than 5 million “peace-of-mind” and “track me” messages world-wide.

Pricing and Availability

SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger retails for $169.99 SRP Customers will be able to purchase SPOT Assist for $129.99 per year at www.findmespot.com. SPOT Assist will include national roadside assistance and unlimited basic SPOT service including Check-in and 9-1-1 emergency response messaging. SPOT Assist is scheduled to be available for purchase in spring 2009.
