It’s easy; start sharing your adventures with 5 people or 1,000 today!



Saving Your Tracks
Track Progress not only allows personal contacts to follow you on your adventures in real time, but also provides the ability to create your own personal adventure log. Simply use Track Progress during your activities or travels, and reference your route later on your own personal Google Maps™ page inside your SPOT account. Each recorded SPOT waypoint includes the date, time-stamp and GPS coordinates in addition to showing your location on the map.

SPOT provides access to your data for up to 30 days, after that we encourage you to sync your Shared Page with SPOT Adventures where you can create an adventure and save it forever, or download your data to your desktop for use outside of your SPOT account.


Sharing with SPOT Adventures
SPOT Adventures, your personal online web portal, allows you to save your tracked adventures in an organized archive. You will have your own personal profile in SPOT Adventures where you can create adventures including photos and stories. What’s more, SPOT Adventures allows you to easily upload photos and geo-tag them to your SPOT waypoints and write a blog describing your experience.
