Garmin 010-01735-10 inReach Explorer+, Handheld Satellite Communicator with Topo Maps and GPS Navigation

Tengan cuidado...

Bought for my son, and his hiking adventures. He is super thrilled!!

If Im gone on a trip my wife can track me. Need a subscription but after that its basically; turn on hit start track and your up and running.

Somehow I dont know why the size of folder .Trashes on device is so big. It might be caused by deleting the preloaded files manually. After I delete the trash files, the new maps could be syncing to my device.

The GPS and location tracking is lousy, set-up and syncing not intuitive at all and customer support is non-existent. Unless youre buying this product for the SOS functionality, save your money.

I always wondered why the old inReachs werent waterproof. This one is, plus adds in the Garmin GPS functionality. Pair it with Earthmate app, and its amazing for remote operations.

Good product, anyone that is often outside the service area and needs communication should have one of these. I personally don’t use the map but it’s a nice feature

First off people, a huge nod to customer service at Garmin/Delorme. I bought my first InReach, traveled to South America, and promptly had it stolen. I had to scramble to cancel my service, which cost me about $125 to cancel. I didnt want to have the thief causing me excess usage charges, plus, he shouldnt get to benefit from my toy. When I returned from a grueling solo mountain bid on Aconcagua, after recovery, I wrote Garmin and explained my situation. I asked them if they would credit my account, for my inconvenience. They did just that. I bought another unit, and my activation fee and first month were credited to me. What exceptional service! They had no obligation to do that, but that is how you keep a loyal customer, and that is how you go above and beyond.

I plan on using this for hiking. Will also use as a regular GPS while riding my UTV with a ram mount.
