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

If you’re a solo adventurer like me, it’s a must have

Great addition to our ATV travels and hiking. Haven’t used a couple of times but feel much safer with it.

Great to have peace of mind when exploring the wilderness on foot or Jeep or bike. Great Bluetooth communication with iPhone that have a much bigger screen to explore the trails. Long battery life. Really nice product.

After some help from support I learned to calibrate the compass (takes about 1 minute, it is not as easy as the manual describes) but it is useless. Sometimes it works for a few minutes and sometimes it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. It just points in a random direction and as you slowly rotate a little bit y suddenly jumps to another random direction (eg: the opposite direction!).

Works as promised. The battery doesnt stay charged as long as they promise but lasts a long time. Easy to operate and accurate as can be. I highly recommend it.

device works , not good enough navigation for dangerous places. unit itself is good except for the clip, the clip is a absolute joke , completely useless , to be clear you will not be able to clip this onto anything. messaging works great . i routinely travel open ocean always works

I recently used this on a transatlantic voyage. It worked great for texting with family on shore. Battery life was very good.

Works very well - but you have to pay for a subscription to get proper use out of it. However, a good piece of mind kit for when youre out of cell service range.

I bought this for my husband for when he goes out for his solo hunting trips to use in an emergency. it is fantastic peace of mind for me and for him in case something happens and he doesnt have cellphone reception.

The main selling point for me was the satellite text function & GPS tracker. I really like how you could plug in the waypoints for your hike, and add a route to help navigate. That all worked like a charm.
