Customers who purchase Ocean Kayak™, Necky ® Kayaks or Old Town® Canoes and Kayaks are qualified to receive a free SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™.

“Integrating the SPOT and the Johnson Outdoors brands is an exciting way to provide a safe, enhanced experience for boaters,” said Darren Bassel, director of global marketing, SPOT LLC. “The SPOT Satellite Messenger provides innovative satellite technology that not only allows boaters to stay connected with others on their adventures but also provides a cool and easy way to send and save GPS location data on Google Maps™ for real-time tracking and post trip reference.”

The SPOT Satellite GPS Messengerâ„¢ is a personal satellite-based messaging, safety and tracking device which transmits GPS location coordinates and select messages over a global satellite network to a list of personal contacts or an emergency response center. Because SPOT uses satellite technology, it works from virtually anywhere around the world regardless of cellular service availability.

“We are very excited to offer our Necky Kayaks, Ocean Kayak, and Old Town paddlers the opportunity to further enhance their safety on the water,” said Chris Heffernan, marketing director for the Watercraft Division of Johnson Outdoors. ”Even the most capable paddler may find themselves needing help and the SPOT Satellite Messenger provides a way to send that distress signal from the boat or the from the water. We are confident our paddlers will also enjoy the tracking of their journeys via Google Maps™ and providing their friends and families with updates on their progress. These two benefits truly bring a whole new dimension to our sport and allow our customers to enjoy their paddling experiences on a whole new level. Even our PRO Paddling and Expeditionary teams are adopting this new technology into their kit and leveraging it in their blogs and web sites.”

At just over seven ounces in weight, the SPOT Satellite Messenger floats and is water-resistant, making it ideal for any maritime or fresh water boater, especially those who venture outside the range of cell phones or radio transmission. SPOT features four function keys that transmit messages based on varying levels of need:

•Alert 9-1-1 notifies an emergency response center of your GPS location
•Ask for Help sends a request for help with your location to friends or family
•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™
