Until Delorme’s inReach two-way GPS Communicator, sending text messages over satellite signals was mostly a one-way affair . This 4.78 by 2.85 by 1.73-inch battery-powered minibeast pairs with either the company’s PN-60w or an Android OS device to send and receive 160-character text messages and real-time GPS data to these tracking you. It could also beam an SOS message at timed intervals then receive confirmation that assistance is at the way if you ultimately realize that being at home with a quick connection is admittedly your entire adventure you needed anyway. Delorme tells us that the inReach may be available in October for $250 and monthly plans start at $9.95 with a one-year contract.
