There are separate models for Android and DeLorme users. The inReach is compact, lightweight, waterproof, floatable, and impact-resistant, and it can maintain satellite signal lock even in difficult GPS environments. DeLorme Topo North America comes included with the Earthmate PN-60w. Maps can be downloaded to the Android so users won’t need to rely on unpredictable cell phone coverage to access the navigation detail. A free application with DeLorme Topo North America® maps will also be available for the Android. “The DeLorme inReach is a great example of how our ecosystem of partners is extending the reach of Iridium now through Android smartphone technology, delivering the consumer market viable, two-way personal communications with unmatched global connectivity,” said Patrick Shay, Iridium Vice President for Data Services.Īndroid users can drive the inReach GPS signal to their phone, improving positional accuracy to within 10 feet and eliminating the significant battery drain that results when a phone’s native GPS is engaged. With the inReach, we meet that need in a way never before possible.” What they all have in common is the need for worry-free navigation, communication hardware and services. “DeLorme users range from active families and outdoor enthusiasts to professionals posted in remote locations around the world. “With Iridium’s global, two-way service, we know we have the right provider for the unquestionable reach and reliability that our customers demand,” said Jim Skillings, DeLorme Vice President for Commercial Products. All of the inReach SOS features are aimed at producing better outcomes and eliminating the critical search and rescue problem of false alarms unnecessarily deploying lifesaving assets. That allows rescuers to efficiently zero in on the senders, whether they’re stationary or on the move. In case of emergency, Android or PN-60w users can describe their predicament so responders can better prepare, and an ongoing dialog can be maintained for mutual status updates.Īny SOS message, whether relayed from a standalone or a paired inReach, will automatically activate remote tracking. Messages can also be posted to Facebook and Twitter. When paired with an Android or the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w, users enjoy full-featured, two-way text messaging (up to 160 characters per message) to and from email addresses and cell phones. The SOS key is protected by a “safety” to prevent false alarms. In case of emergency, an SOS key can be triggered. Unlike other standalone satellite messengers, the inReach provides delivery confirmation via flashing LED lights. When using the inReach as a standalone device, users can send pre-loaded text messages to designated recipients, and activate remote tracking, allowing others to follow their travels online via a continually-updated “bread crumb” trail. The GPS-enabled inReach can be used by itself or paired with either an Android smartphone or a DeLorme Earthmate® PN-60w. Iridium’s pole-to-pole global connectivity means inReach users can send and receive messages anywhere on the planet. All maps are georeferenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) or to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84) and projected to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection and coordinate system.The core communications component of the inReach is the Iridium 9602 short-burst data (SBD) transceiver, which provides a unique, two-way communications connection through the world’s farthest-reaching satellite network.Shaded relief (derived from 3DEP elevation data where available) and high-resolution color imagery.3-year production cycle for the 48 conterminous states, Hawaii, & Puerto Rico (Alaska US Topo refresh driven by elevation and hydrography data updates).
