Using the inReach
You can use the inReach Explorer by itself but it is easiest if you pair it with a mobile (via Bluetooth).
You can then text from your mobile and have access to your contacts.

Download the Earthmate app to your mobile device
Download the free Earthmate app by visiting your mobile device's app store. The Earthmate app is
available from the App StoreSM and Google Play. Note: Your Android mobile device must have 2.2 or
later firmware. Your Apple mobile device must have iOS 5.0 or later.
Open Earthmate and enter the ABW email and password (provided when borrowing the device).
When you first open Earthmate it will ask if you want to download maps. You can ignore this or go
ahead and select your target walk area and download – best if you have a wifi connection if you do
this! You can download maps at any time (before your walk!).
