The perfect scenario would be a worker who regularly travels out to a remote mission location… say a village or a jungle area, where cell towers are spotty and dangers are many. Turn on your Spot Messenger, velcro it to the dashboard, and watch the wife and kids relax, knowing they will have 10-minute by 10-minute updates on your location. If you’re driving home from the village at 1am and you come upon a downed tree across the road, then see 5 guys come out with guns, before they roust you out of the car, just quietly reach up on the dash and push the 911 button. Suddenly, you’ll thank Brigada for putting you on toward the best $123 insurance device you ever bought. You’ll only have to use the device *once* in your life to pay it off. This past week, we prayed in our office for a young missionary in West Africa who had been traveling alone on a bike from one city to another. No one heard from him for 11 days. We had just learned that he had been hit by a car… and now, days later, no one was even sure what had become of his body. Certainly, if he had been wearing a Spot Messenger, the accident might have knocked him unconscious and even disabled the device. But if he were traveling in Spotcasting mode, some family member somewhere would have noted that his 10-minute updates abruptly stopped at such-and-such a time. The great thing about the Spot Messenger is that they would have known the very street corner where they stopped! From anywhere in the world.
So basically… anyone who travels to remote places and can step outside or place the device in a windshield is a great candidate for Spot.
