DeLorme AG-008727-201 InReach Explorer Two Way Satellite Communicator with Built in Navigation
The inReach Explorer operates over the Iridium satellite network, providing truly global two-way satellite communications and high network reliability anywhere on Earth, with no gaps, fringe or weak signal areas. The brand new inReach Explorer can help you create, plan, and navigate routes with an easy to use waypoint system and the ability to view bearing and distance to destination. With the ability to maintain satellite signal lock even in difficult GPS environments, the inReach Explorer also offers global SOS capabilities, adjustable tracking intervals from 10 minutes to 4 hours, and remote real-time follow-me/find-me tracking and ping-me locating. In the event of an emergency, the interactive SOS capability of inReach automatically triggers remote tracking and allows users to describe and update their situation so proper resources can be deployed. With 90% of the world’s surface lacking mobile phone coverage, inReach Explorer is essential gear for the traveller or outdoor adventurer to keep them connected and safe anywhere in the world. The inReach range of devices are the only affordable satellite communication devices that can both send and receive text messages.
