Read the Description.

This app is made only to work with the Delorme InReach Device, sold separately. I have the InReach SE. Together the app and devise are amazing. The InReach SE can be used as a stand alone device, not reliant on this app, but the app nicely enhances the user experience.

The reason I purchased the SE was for the world wide connection to emergency rescue for hiking. When I compared it to weaker options like the Spot, it was simply a FAR better choice for safety. When compared to quality Personal Locator Beacons, the two way texting was the winning factor for the InReach SE.

I have two young kids that would never find their way out of the woods if something happened to me. This app and device would allow them to easily push an SOS button on the SE or app and their location and a distress message will immediately be received by a global rescue network that will send out a rescue team. Cannot imagine taking them into the wilderness without it. Why take the risk when I dont have to?

The app does everything described very well. 5 Star.

Adding in a GPS style trip planner on top of the tracking would be a feature I would like to see in the future. Adding integration with the iPhone compass would be a nice feature. It seems this could also become a great GPS device with little software work and no additional hardware. I would like to be able to enter a destination and simply see a line to follow and a compass direction to point at.
