Overview
IR-01-DELORME
You can send AND receive vital info or a simple Hello absolutely anywhere.
Two-way SOS: Affordable, two-way, satellite communication has arrived at the ends of the earth — and everywhere in between. It’s the “two-way” feature of the Delorme inReach that is blazing new trail in the industry. Without it, you’re just pressing an SOS button and wondering if help will arrive. Two-way SOS means your messages will be confirmed upon delivery. You’ll also have remote tracking and access to GEOS emergency services (at no extra charge).
Follow-Me/Find-Me Tracking and Location: Bring family and friends with you, using Follow-Me/Find-Me Tracking and Location’s automatic location feature. Turn it on or off at a whim, and ensure that your route is known. Use it to aid rescuers, to make maps, to keep you connected to the world, or just to provide a measure of authenticity to your travel stories or adventures. People can even ping your inReach to find your latest location.
Two-way Messaging: Two-way communication becomes two-way texting when your inReach is paired with a smartphone. Now you can both send and receive messages — that means interactive SOS messages, text messages, emails, social network updates, etc., and full GPS navigation. In short, an affordable remote satellite connection that is no less than revolutionary.
No companion device required: Use inReach by itself and stay fully connected with two-way coverage everywhere.

Whether you’re crossing Antarctica or the Sahara, you’ll have reliable coverage on the other 90% of the earth — with the world’s only truly global network. Simply install the free DeLorme Earthmate app, and transform your smartphone or tablet into a two-way text-messaging global communications device and a GPS viewer (with the latest terrain and road details).
