SOS
– Request emergency help with your inReach device by
selecting SOS. Please use the SOS function only in a real emergency
situation. Your inReach device will contact GEOS, our 24/7 search
and rescue monitoring center, who will then dispatch help to your
location.
MapShare
– Send your friends live updates about your location by
turning on MapShare on your Explore account online. Your location
information will appear on your MapShare web page that you can
share with others. Post your MapShare page to social media so your
friends and family can follow you. From your inReach device, select
Tracking, and then select Start Sending to share your MapShare link.
Social
– Let your friends and family see your progress and updates
on Facebook and Twitter. Link your Facebook and Twitter accounts on
the Explore website using a computer or tablet. Select the Social tab
and enter your usernames and passwords for your social media. Once
you’ve linked your social accounts, you’ll be able to send updates to
them through your inReach device.
Waypoints
– Mark important locations by creating waypoints.
Select Waypoints from the home page of your inReach device. Press
New Waypoint at the location you would like to save. Enter a name
and choose a symbol to save the location for reference later.
Note:
Be sure to mark the location of your vehicle when starting a
trip so you can find your way back to it should you get disoriented.
