Sharing Reference Point Information
Use the SPOT Communicator to send information about
a reference point (dened as any point on the map other
than where you are), geocache, Find search result, or map
point from the PN-60w to your contacts. While viewing
details for a point or search result, go to MENU > Send
Point with SPOT. The SPOT Communicator page will
open for you to complete your message.
Logging Geocaches and Uploading
Field Notes
With the SPOT Communicator and PN-60w, you can
log a geocache nd and write a eld note in the eld and
immediately send the information to Geocaching.com.
Link your premium Geocaching.com account to your
account at ndmespot.com before you go into the eld.
This will allow you to log a geocache or upload eld notes
in near real-time from virtually anywhere with the SPOT
Communicator.
For more information, see To log a geocache on page 58.
Send Progress Page
Once you have sent a message, the Send Progress page
displays information about the message currently in
progress. When the SPOT Communicator status indicates
that a message mode is in progress, you can select that
message type to view the Send Progress page.
The Send Progress page displays the following
information about the message:
Message–The message recipient and the content
of the message.
Times Sent–The number of times the message has
been sent. While a single message transmission has
a good probability of being received, waiting for the
full three message transmission to complete gives
the highest probability of a successful delivery.
Time Started–The time the message was initiated.
Time to Next Send–Displays the amount of time
remaining until the SPOT Communicator sends
the next message.
