April 5, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Spot LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT), said it has partnered with RaceTracker to provide a safety and tracking solution to competitors at the 25th annual Sultan Marathon Des Sables adventure race in Morocco.

The enhanced next generation Spot Satellite GPS Messenger™ will be carried by competitors in order for race organizers and fans to track their progress online between April 4 and 11th 2010 on www.darbaroud.com.

The Sultan Marathon Des Sables features international teams of co-ed athletes competing in a grueling 200 km adventure race through the Moroccan Desert. One hundred competitors will be equipped with the Spot Satellite GPS Messenger™ which sends location-based signals via a global satellite network allowing for real-time public viewing on Spot enhanced Google Maps™.

Due to the remoteness of the race, the Spot Satellite GPS Messenger™ will also provide competitors and race staff with satellite-based messaging and emergency communications, independent of mobile networks to assist with on-course safety.

The new handheld SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ is the second generation in the SPOT product line following the award-winning SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker™ offering a robust and intuitive user experience in a smaller, more compact size. New features include advanced GPS, a new Custom Message mode and a dedicated button for GPS Tracking. Additionally, the new SPOT comes equipped with GPS acquisition and message sending LED confirmation. In an emergency, SPOT will transmit an SOS message alert to an International Emergency Response Center with the SPOT owner's GPS location updated every 5 minutes. Since market introduction, the SPOT product line has initiated more than 550 rescues in 51 countries and at sea.
