Pros and cons of Earthmate app for iPhone and iPad
Earthmate app good for
This is a great little app with awesome maps that are easily download for use when you dont have cell coverage. It also syncs all data to their website and you can use a desktop browser to review the maps and plan trips. I am using it with an iPhone 6s and it has been working great. Not sure why all the negative reviews.
Using this app for offline maps and for InReach interface. Very happy. Maps is the same level of detail as best online maps I can find, maps taking much less space than some other offline mapping apps.
Sometimes have issues with Bluetooth connectivity to InReach, not sure if App fault. Rebooting iPhone usually helps.
This app worked great with iPhone 4 & 5 models. Easily access all your contacts on your phone from Earthmate software. Map program is not suitable for mountain navigation but provides usefull place names and route tracking options.
Super easy to connect to InReach device thru Earthmate.
Downloadable maps for everywhere, including the middle of nowhere Mongolia.
Really appreciated knowing how much further a destination was when there was no road signage.
Elevation indicator was cool, especially travelling in the mountains and below sea level.
Its GPS in an app!
So nice to keep our 1000’s of followers aware of where we were as we crossed 35 countries as we did the Mongolian charity rally from London England to UB Mongolia. www.OffTrax.ca
Texting to family and friends in the middle of nowhere in a Stan country , PRICELESS
We used the Earthmate app for 4 months while traveling through 37 countries on our trip to and from Mongolia, crossing deserts and mountain ranges. Thanks to Earthmate and the InReach Explorer device we managed to successfully locate some of the most remotes and amazing areas we were headed to (not findable on regular maps), keep track of our progress and route, as well as keep in touch with our family and friends. The app allows you to send direct messages , and update you social media from anywhere in the world. I highly recommend the Earthmate app to anyone!! Definitely will us it again in a future expedition! Corinne- team Offtrax
Some bad moments
Earthmate had been working fine up until v2.3 release at the end of April 2016. Now is crashes 3 seconds after startup every time I try to start the app. Rebooted phone and same issue. Phone is iphone 6 with latest iOS.
They call this Earthmate but for outside the U.S. the maps are pretty much useless as the detail is so high level and so not worth bothing with. Total waste of money if you are a true global explorer and go beyond the U.S. shores as I do. How do I get my money back?
App is constantly crashing on iPhone 6S iOS 9.3.1 rendering this app to be useless!
It no longer stays connected and continues to say "no device connected" even though its connected in the Bluetooth settings menu on my iPhone and also shows connected on my inReach device. The app just wont recognize it no matter how many restarts and reconnects and syncs I do. Ive tried forgetting the Bluetooth settings and re-pairing them but it just cant detect that its connected to my inReach. Sigh. Not sure this if this is Garmins fault ever since they acquired Delorme or if its the app developer. Please fix it ASAP. Im a world traveler for my job and use this all the time for texting through my inReach.
Application constantly disconnects from Bluetooth. I am repeatedly having to open the app to reconnect to the device.
Love the capabilities of the Delorme inreach. But the maps in the app are useless. There needs to be a true topo map or integrated into google maps. The ones on the app are brutal and waste of time
Usually Earthmate iOS app used & searched for
