While we take communication for granted when we’re in the city, these innovative satellite-linked devices from Garmin mean you can do the same in the wilds.
There’s nothing quite like leaving civilisation in our wake, dropping out from the endless cycle of emails and text messages and simply being one with nature. That said, mother nature can be a vixen and sometimes it’s nice to have an exit strategy for when the going gets tough.
Next time you decide to venture off the beaten path, avoid the embarrassment British explorer Benedict Allen endured when he recently became lost in Papua New Guinea, with one of the savvy inReach devices from Garmin.
The inReach SE+ and the inReach Explorer + are Garmin’s first devices with inReach satellite communication technology. With pole-to-pole coverage through the global Iridium satellite network, the
two new devices offer two way messaging and SOS alerting with the press of a button. Both models include a built-in GPS for location tracking and basic navigation and the inReach Explorer+ adds preloaded TOPO maps, a compass, a barometric altimeter and an accelerometer.
With flexible subscription packages that can be paused when you’re not on the road, travellers can send and receive text messages to any cell phone number or email address, even when out of cellular range, making the devices a smart choice for that next safari or Arctic cruise.
