A free application with DeLorme Topo North America maps will also be available for the Android. That improves positional accuracy to within 10 feet and also eliminates the significant battery drain that results when the phone’s native GPS is engaged. That allows rescuers to efficiently zero in on the senders, whether they’re stationary or on the move.Īndroid users can drive the inReach GPS signal to their phone. In case of emergency, users can describe their predicament so responders can better prepare, and the sender and responders can also maintain an ongoing dialog for mutual status updates.Īll SOS messages, whether relayed from a standalone or a paired inReach, will automatically trigger remote tracking.
Messages can also be posted to Facebook and Twitter. When paired with either an Android smartphone or the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w GPS, users enjoy full-featured two-way text messaging (up to 160 characters per message), to and from email addresses and cell phones. In case of emergency, users can trigger an SOS key-when not in use, the keyis protected by a “safety” to prevent false alarms. The GPS-enabled inReach can be used by itself or paired with either an Android smartphone or a DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w.Īs a standalone device, the inReach can send pre-loaded text messages to designated recipients, and activate remote tracking, allowing others to follow the user’s travels online via a continually-updated “bread crumb” trail. Iridium communication capabilities and pole-to-pole global coverage deliver features (two-way messaging, delivery confirmation) and worldwide reach that no other consumer-accessible satellite system can offer.
The inReach incorporates Iridium’s new-generation 9602 short-burst data technology. Iridium is the world’s farthest-reaching satellite network. DeLorme announced the Fall 2011 release of the DeLorme inReach, the first Iridium-based device to integrate personal two-way satellite messaging, delivery confirmations, SOS capabilities and remote tracking, for reliable communication anywhere in the world.
