Adjusting the tracking intervals on inReach is not required, but doing so can o!er greater flexibility depending
on your trip speed and desired level of trip detail. inReach automatically records and stores tracking data in a
trip log in the device’s memory, whether or not you choose to send your track points to MapShare. Therefore,
inReach allows you to adjust two di!erent 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 o!ers sending intervals as frequently as 2 minutes.)
The log interval determines how often inReach records and stores tracking data in the device’s memory. Data
recorded at the log interval is NOT transmitted via satellite while you are in the field and it does not appear on
your Mapshare page until you sync your device.
The default log interval when you are sending track points to your MapShare page is 1 minute. The default log
interval when you are not sending track points is also 1 minute. Set your inReach to log your location on your
device at intervals ranging from 1 second to 10 minutes. A shorter log interval gives a high level of detail but
fills the device memory quickly and uses more battery power.
Tip: Upload your log data to your Explore account by syncing your device via your computer after your
trip.
When you are Tracking, info fields appear showing your send and log intervals, how many points are waiting to
be sent to Mapshare, and how long until your tracking log is full.
Tip: If you notice that several points have been queued for sending, ensure your inReach has a clear
view of the sky.
When you stop moving, your inReach rests and stops sending and logging new tracking points at normal
intervals until you start moving again. A track point is sent once every four hours even when stationary.
Tip: Clear the stored log on the Tracking page when starting a new trip to have full log capacity
available.
Creating Waypoints
Mark important locations by creating Waypoints. Select Waypoints from the Home page of your inReach device.
Choose New Waypoint or select the New Waypoint shortcut after pressing Enter twice on the Map page.
After creating the waypoint, edit the name, symbol, and location details to more easily reference it.
If you know the coordinates of your destination, mark the Waypoint ahead of time by creating a new Waypoint
and then editing the Location field.
Tip: If your known coordinates do not match the current inReach Explorer coordinates format, change
the format in Settings>Units.
Waypoints you create during your trip are also sent to your Explore and MapShare web pages for others to see.
Navigating to a Destination
Select a Waypoint, Message, or other location you would like to travel toward and choose Navigate. The Map
page appears showing your current position, your selected destination, and an orange-highlighted route
connecting the two locations.
As you travel, a Finish field on the map reports the distance from your current location to your destination.
The Map page rotates to show your direction of travel at the top of the map. The page always defaults to show
your position and your destination on the map when Navigating. If you zoom in or out, the Map page returns
