inReach from DeLorme
Stay connected and safe anywhere in the world with the affordable two-way satellite communication solution -- inReach SE -- from DeLorme. Featuring a color screen, virtual keyboard, slim design and long-lasting internal lithium battery, this rugged Screen Edition of inReach is waterproof, dustproof and impact resistant to withstand just about any adventure.With 90% of the earth's surface lacking cell phone coverage, inReach can be used as a standalone device or paired with your smartphone or tablet to: send and receive text messages to and from cell phone numbers, email contacts and other inReach users; track and share your GPS location with family and friends; and trigger an SOS in the event of an emergency. Whether you're deep in the backwoods or floating on a remote lake, inReach provides peace of mind and enables your family and friends to know where you are and how to reach you when your adventures take you out of cell phone range.
When used in conjunction with DeLorme's free Earthmate app and Explore website, the seamless inReach experience provides worry-free navigation and journey tracking with unlimited downloadable topographic maps, NOAA charts, and GPS position updates. Unlike streaming maps on most cell phone apps, downloaded DeLorme maps remain available in the Earthmate app even when you're outside of cellular coverage and are perfect for planning a long hunting trip, hike, remote camping trip or fishing excursion. Family and friends can even log into your MapShare page to follow a detailed breadcrumb trail of your trip, ping your location, and send messages.
In the event of an emergency, inReach's SOS capability provides peace of mind by automatically triggering remote tracking and allowing users to describe and update their situation so proper resources can be deployed (in standalone or paired mode). As the only satellite communication device that both sends and receives messages in its price category, inReach is an essential tool for staying safe and in touch with family and friends in remote locations - whether on land, in the air or on water. It's also the perfect device to keep on-hand in case of weather emergencies, such as hurricanes or earthquakes.
Unlike other satellite communicators, consistent global service is available through Iridium, which is the world's furthest-reaching satellite communications network. inReach can maintain satellite signal lock even in difficult GPS environments and embeds precise location coordinates in sent messages.
