Landsat, USGS quads - can be accessed through the Earthmate app. In the field, you can create waypoints and breadcrumb tracks, and navigate to saved features.Īdditional data tiles - e.g. Routes and waypoints can be imported to both devices through your online inReach account (formerly the DeLorme Explore portal). For navigating Europe, you can load Open Street Maps the built-in memory is sufficient for about six countries. Syncing of data requires a hard connection with a mini-USB/USB cable.
USGS quads cannot be loaded onto the Explorer+, for example. However, only certain data is compatible. The Explorer+ has 2 GB of internal memory for additional map data.
no features or contour lines, just its location plus any imported or created routes, waypoints, and breadcrumbs). The SE+ is not preloaded with any mapping data, but it does have a simple grid map (i.e. Topographic map data - specifically, DeLorme’s TOPO North America - is pre-loaded onto the Explorer+. The control buttons on the Garmin 64 and the inReach+ are arranged differently. Weight of 7.5 oz, full-color 2.3-inch screen (1.4” x 2.9”), water-resistance rated to IPX7, and battery life up to 100 hours with 10-minute tracking. They share a similar build to the popular Garmin GPSMAP 64. This assumes you have an active service plan and sufficient satellite reception. Using just the unit, or paired with a smartphone via the Earthmate app, you can send and receive text messages. The history can be helpful, but can also cause confusion.īoth new devices are two-way text messengers. To understand the inReach SE+ and Explorer+, it helps to temporarily forget what you know about the current inReach devices, which I have written about here and here. So the inReach+ models, which are the third-generation of inReach, are the first overseen by Garmin. Last week I was able to inspect them first-hand and discuss them with representatives at Outdoor Retailer (OR). The original manufacturer of the inReach, DeLorme, was purchased by Garmin a year ago. Garmin announced two new inReach devices shortly after the New Year, immediately prior to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES): The new Garmin inReach SE+ (yellow) and Explorer+ (orange) are best described as conventional handheld GPS units with satellite text messaging.
