The SPOT Communicator must have an unobstructed view of the sky, either outdoors or in a glass enclosed area, such as a vehicle dashboard or sunroof. Visit findmespot.com for more detailed information.

The SPOT Communicator works around the world, including virtually all of North America, Europe, Australia, and portions of South America, Africa, and Asia, as well as hundreds or thousands of miles off shore of these areas. It is important that you check coverage for your destination at findmespot.com before traveling.

You can view the coverage map for the SPOT-2 Satellite GPS Messenger on that device description page. The coverage map for the SPOT-2 and the SPOT Communicator is the same.

Additional charges may apply in some regions. Standard text messaging charges from your mobile phone provider may also apply. Visit findmespot.com for more information.

Troubleshooting:

The SPOT Communicator performs a self-diagnostic test each time it is powered on. SPOT recommends that you send and verify a Check-in/OK message before each trip. This also allows you to evaluate your entire messaging system—from the operational condition of the SPOT Communicator to the readiness of those on your contact list. See the FAQ section on findmespot.com for more information.
