Earthmate – GPS with Topo Maps: Your Guide to Adventure
Do you love exploring wild and remote places? Whether you are in your RV, jeep, or hiking deep in the backcountry, staying safe and connected is important. Earthmate – GPS with Topo Maps is a powerful tool designed to be your perfect partner for any adventure, helping you navigate with confidence and stay in touch with loved ones, no matter how far you roam.
The Power of Pairing
Earthmate works hand-in-hand with a satellite communicator like the inReach Explorer. This powerful combination unlocks a world of possibilities. By linking the app to your device via Bluetooth, you can use your phone or tablet as a large-screen navigation tool. This is great because the device itself handles the GPS work, which can save your phone's battery life in a big way. Imagine seeing detailed maps on a bright, large tablet screen instead of a small device screen. It makes finding your way so much easier.
Navigate Like a Pro with Offline Maps
Detailed Topo and Aerial Maps
One of the best features of Earthmate is its amazing maps. You can download a variety of maps, including detailed topographic (topo) maps and even aerial views. These maps are accurate and show you trails and key locations, like campsites along a river. This is much more detailed than a standard road map you might have in your car.
Go Anywhere, Stay on Track
The great thing is you don't need a cell signal to use them. Before you head out, you can download maps for the entire area you plan to visit. This means you’ll always have your maps, even in places with no service. Earthmate also lets you track your journey, creating a path of digital breadcrumbs. You can even share a link so friends and family can follow your progress online for extra peace of mind.
Stay Connected, No Matter What
Messaging from Anywhere
With Earthmate paired to your satellite device, your phone becomes a two-way messaging machine that works anywhere on Earth. Send and receive text messages from the top of a mountain or the middle of a desert. Typing messages on your phone’s full keyboard is much faster and easier than using a small device. You can keep your family updated on your travels or even arrange for roadside help when you're out of cell range.
Safety and SOS
For true peace of mind, there is an emergency SOS button. If you ever find yourself in trouble, you can send a call for help that includes your exact map coordinates. This feature provides a vital link to assistance when you need it most, making solo trips much safer.
