Breakdown
The inReach Explorer+ is a handheld satellite communicator with built-in GPS navigation on a 1.4"W x 1.9"H display. The 100% global Iridium satellite coverage enables 2-way text messaging with any cell phone number or email address from anywhere (satellite subscription required). You don't have to worry about being within the range of a cell tower because this system uses satellite communication. Trigger an interactive SOS to the 24/7 search and rescue monitoring center and text back and forth about the nature of your emergency, and receive a confirmation when help is on the way. A great backcountry hunting peace of mind device. You can also track and share your location with family and friends and can pair with mobile devices using the free Earthmate app for access to downloadable maps, U.S. NOAA charts, color aerial imagery, and more.

"Great GPS and communication."
"I love that I’ll be able to contact my wife when I get the bull down, or hunt till dark and am on my way home. Thanks for selling great stuff!"
"This product offers communication when your phone might not have service, weather, maps, tracking, and a app on your phone that syncs with your Garmin device. Heads up, it is subscription based service for this product."
"Purchased to replace an older model. This model is very easy to use. Locks onto satellite very quick. My old model went through batteries, love the rechargeable batteries and the charge lasts a long time. I have not used the communication features yet but nice to know they exist when needed"
"This communicator is a game changer for me I have always wanted to have the ability to stay in touch with my loved ones in the back country and have the added bonus of the sos should I get in trouble but I would definitely recommend a communicator for all serious backcountry hunters it’s a piece of mind for you and your loved ones"
"This device allows me to hunt hard in the backcountry and stay connected with my loved ones and is a great tool and I would highly recommend getting one if you don’t have one."
"This unit is simple. It’s not a super fancy GPS like your fancy truck. It’s down to earth, takes some effort to learn. (One hour tutorial from a GARMIN guy on YouTube) will last you years in the field. This little unit does all anyone could ask for in the mountains."
"My Son and his wife started the pct and he had his back had a compresed disk had to use the unit to get help and the rescue them said that that it was the most precise location they had ever had"
"Very nice product works well offshore and quick #deeznautz"
