The DeLorme inReach satellite communicator can be used as a standalone device utilizing pre-loaded text messages, SOS signal, remote tracking, and message delivery confirmation. The DeLorme inReach is also able to pair with your Android phone or device (not included) through a free application available for download in the Android Market. Pairing with your Android device gives you a two-way satellite messaging service along with the inReach's other features. If your android device is damaged, lost, or loses battery power, the inReach is still able to keep you in contact. With the Iridium network providing global coverage, the inReach can keep you in touch anywhere.
Don't have an Android Phone? No Problem! DeLorme also offers the Earthmate PN-60w, a device built specifically to pair with your handheld tracker and unlock all of its additional features. If you already have an Earthmate PN-60w you can purchase the inReach which pairs with it, or we offer a bundle which includes both the DeLorme inReach and Earthmate devices.
