Description
If you’re looking for a tracker, we would highly recommend buying a tracker that makes use of the Iridium network. Iridium is the only satellite network that provides truly worldwide coverage. More important, Iridium based trackers will continue sharing your location in situations where other satellite providers have a hard time getting a connection, i.e. in the mountains, or simply while mounted to/on a moving object/person as a car, boat or your body.
Garmin inReach devices
With the acquisition of Delorme -a company that had been building Iridium trackers for two decades-, Garmin became the biggest manufacturer of high-quality Iridium trackers in the world. Garmin named the Delorme technology ‘inReach’ and implemented it into a wide range of devices. These devices are divided into two categories:
-
- Dedicated trackers: the ideal option when your main purpose is to share your location. I.e. the inReach mini or the inReach messenger.
- Handheld GPS navigation devices with a tracker built in: if you would need a handheld GPS device anyway, you get the tracker built in as an extra at a very competitive price! I.e. the GPSMAP H1i has the option of installing (sea) navigation charts and is an ideal option for in your grab-bag.
