DeLormes inReach Explorer Satellite Communicator will enhance your adventures by keeping you connected to friends and family back home with innovative features such as easy texting, SOS and forecast. Send and receive text messages from the ends of the earth and everywhere in between with the easy-to-read color screen and virtual keyboard. Text up to 160 characters at a time with the predictive texting feature. Stay in touch with or without cell connection with Iridium satellite network's 100% global coverage. Plus, with Freedom plans, there's no need for annual subscriptions. View distance and bearing to a location as a route line on a map or arrow on a compass. Map view lets you see waypoints, tracks, GPS logs and geo-located messages. Create waypoints in advance for marking key locations. Waterproof, dustproof and impact-resistant housing protects against outdoor mishaps. When you're off the grid and out of cell-phone range, you can quickly and easily share your journey with family and friends, let them ping and message you and receive a delivery confirmation that your message was sent. And in the event of an emergency, you can trigger an SOS, receive delivery confirmation and then have a two-way text conversation with the search-and-rescue monitoring center until help arrives. Can be used in stand-alone mode or in conjunction with DeLorme's free Earthmate app on Apple or Android? smartphones and tablets. Receive navigation and journey tracking with unlimited access to downloadable topographic maps and NOAA charts. Runs on an internal lithium polymer battery (included).
