Spot Connect connects your Android phone to satellites

Even in today’s world, we still face problems connecting to cellular networks due to the fact that we might not be in range of cell phone towers all the time. What happens when you’re in that situation, lost, and clueless about where to go? Enter: Spot Connect. This device will allow you to determine your location through the Globalstar satellite network to transmit your location to personal contacts or an emergency response center in case of emergencies. In addition to being useful in emergencies, Spot Connect can connect to your Android device (support for other operating systems is in the works) to let you locate yourself on Google Maps as well as let you check in to social networks. Talk about being a mayor in the middle of nowhere! The Spot connect is also waterproof according to the IPX7 standard and weighs a very light 3.7 ounces. The handy gadget will go on sale for $169.99 this month, though it’s going to cost you $99.99 for a year’s service. Can you see yourself using a device like this?
