SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger v.1I have a surprise for you before I hit the road! You are now able to follow my journey 24/7 in “Real-Time” due to now-a-days advanced technology. By clicking the link in the sidebar under the section “Where is the Dane” (should have stated stupid Dane) or right here. You will be directed to a map showing my exact position almost anywhere in the world, cool eh! The main reason for this is to give the readers more pleasure and more fun following me.
So who is behind this new feature, can an unemployed motorcycle traveller really afford this kind of equipment taking in mind that a yearly subscription cost more than 100 € ? The answer is no! I am not the one to thank for this great gizmo. You can send all your gratitude to the company in Denmark called SAFELINK.
After a short introducing of myself, telling about my journey to the owner of SAFELINK which is Tommy Rasmussen he gave me a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger to take with me in the bag. It will probably give my dear mom a little more peace in her mind as she now get the oppertunity to stay tuned on my whereabouts ;o) But that is not the only thing! This piece of genius comes with the possibility of subscribing to the GEOS rescue arrangement which is a SOS/ 911 service covering emergency rescue around the world. This is still not the end! You can send customized messages for instance saying “I am okay” or send for help by the push of a button. The device works on pure satellite connection and doesn’t need any kind of cell phone activity, by this way it has the ability to work in remote areas where cell phones have no coverage as this rely 100% on satellites. The coverage of the SPOT can be seen here.  Furthermore one can send SMS or emails from it to friends and relatives.
SAFELINK GPSA great thanks  to Tommy from SAFELINK. I hope the readers will enjoy this new feature on the site without me having to make use of the rescue service in the future ;oP
By clicking the link here or in the sidebar you will be directed to “Find me SPOT” service where my postion will be shown on a Google Map. No password is needed! EnHoey…
