inReach Two-Way Satellite Communicator for Smartphones

DELORME inReach™ is the first affordable two-way Satellite Communicator. When you’re boating or traveling in a remote location, you may think your cell phone will be there for you in an emergency, but only 10% of the world has cell phone coverage!

The inReach uses the Iridium satellite network, which covers the entire globe, to transform your smartphone or tablet into a two-way text-messaging global communications device, rescue beacon and a GPS viewer. Interactive SOS lets you contact emergency services for quick help.

Also includes automatic location tracking and navigation using DeLorme Topo North America, Digital Atlas of the Earth maps or NOAA Charts. A breadcrumb feature maps your waypoints to aid rescuers and allow loved ones back home to track your progress and see your current location. Post to Facebook and Twitter. Interface via Bluetooth with your iPhone or Android phone. Requires subscription.
