Quoting from there:
"Once activated, SPOT will acquire its exact coordinates from the GPS network, 
and send that location along with a distress message to a GEOS International 
Emergency Response Center every five minutes until cancelled. The Emergency 
Response Center notifies the appropriate emergency responders based on your 
location and personal information"

Researching a bit, it uses GlobalStar for upload:

No logging capabilities, though, so not very useful for the OSM community 
IMHO.
