[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1187858, member: 33822"] I have an inReach explorer, and when I pair it with my phone, I get all the function of the inReach built into the app. The app has it's own text interface that is very similar to the standard txt interface buit into your phone, and it has a full map feature that shows up on the screen of your phone either in topo mode or full satellite imagery if you downloaded the maps ahead of time. Not ideal to have to carry and charge your phone, but at least it's something if the maps are an important feature to you. batteries do run down quicker when you pair with the phone because of the bluetooth, that is the biggest downside. I quickly found out that the app feature in the phone can work with the phones built-in GPS while the inReach is turned off, and I just use the app in my phone as a handy GPS unit any time I'm out hiking or doing whatever. It syncs all the waypoints and routes back to my inReach and with my Delorme account whenever I get service. It really works very well. [/QUOTE]
