MapShare
. Therefore, inReach allows you to adjust two different
tracking intervals — a send interval and a log interval.
The
send interval
determines how often inReach transmits your
tracking data to your MapShare page online. With most of our
subscription plans, you can set inReach to transmit your location at
intervals ranging from 10 minutes to 4 hours. DeLorme’s Extreme
subscription plan offers sending intervals as frequently as 2 minutes.
The
log interval
determines how often inReach records and stores
tracking data in the device’s memory. The default log interval when
you are sending track points to your MapShare page is 5 minutes.
The default log interval when you are not sending track points is 10
minutes. Data recorded at the log interval is NOT transmitted via
satellite while you are in the field. (
Note:
Upload your log data to
your Explore account by syncing your device via your computer after
your trip.) Set your inReach to log your location on your device at
intervals ranging from 1 second to 4 hours. A shorter log interval will
give a high level of detail but will fill the device memory quickly and
use more battery power.
Note:
Clear the stored log on the Tracking page when starting a new
trip to have full log capacity available.
Tracking
– Track your trip and share your location details online
with family and friends from anywhere in the world. Tracking allows
you to send your trip details, including GPS coordinates, course,
elevation and speed to your MapShare page online. To get started,
select Tracking from the inReach Home page. Then select Start
Sending to begin, and select Stop Sending when you finish your trip
or want to stop sending your trip details.
Adjusting the tracking intervals
The default tracking interval for sending your location information
to MapShare is 10 minutes. To change the tracking intervals, go to
Settings>Tracking
. Using the Extended Tracking mode (with a clear
view to the sky) can increase the device's battery life by days or even
weeks. Messaging and SOS are still available in this mode, but some
features are automatically disabled. See the online help manual for
details on use.
Adjusting the tracking intervals on inReach is not required, but doing
so can offer greater flexibility depending on your trip speed and
desired level of trip detail.
inReach will automatically record
and store tracking data in a trip log in the device’s memory,
whether or not you choose to send your track points to
