Tracking - DeLorme inReach User Manual

Tracking

When you use the inReach's tracking feature with your PN-60w, you can set the interval for placing tracking points
on the map at explore.delorme.com. The tracking points recorded while the PN-60w and the inReach are paired are
visible on the PN-60w's Map Page and you can view information about them in the inReach History page. Regular
tracking points are yellow pins and SOS tracking points are red pins.
If you set up a MapShare page on explore.delorme.com, you can send a link to share your travels. The MapShare
page has options you can customize, so you can allow people to send you messages, send a request to view your
current location, or just view the tracking points and messages you send to MapShare.
Anyone who has your explore.delorme.com account login information can send a location or tracking request from
the website to the inReach. When the inReach receives the request, it sends one tracking point for a location request
(a total of two tracking points are used) or turns on tracking for a tracking request. If you are using the inReach with
your PN-60w, you will be notified of the request. See the Help page on explore.delorme.com for more information.
Handing off Tracking
When your PN-60w and inReach are connected, you can start tracking on the PN-60w and then power it off to save
battery life—the inReach will begin tracking in standalone mode. No tracking points will be recorded on your PN-60w
when it is powered off, but tracking points will be visible on explore.delorme.com and on your MapShare page.
Alternatively, if you start tracking on the inReach and then power on your PN-60w, you can monitor tracking on the
PN-60w.
You can also stop tracking on either device when they are connected.
To start tracking from the PN-60w
The tracking interval determines how often tracking points are sent via the inReach to explore.delorme.com and
your MapShare page. To save battery life, select a longer interval so that fewer tracking points are sent while you
are moving. When you are stationary, tracking points are sent every four hours; if you move more than 100 meters,
tracking resumes at the interval you set.
1. Make sure your inReach is powered on and connected before you begin. From the inReach Page, select Tracking.
2. To change the tracking interval, click Edit.
3. From the When moving, send every drop-down list, select a time interval and then press QUIT to exit the interval
setup page.
4. On the Tracking Setup page, if you want to send a link to your MapShare page, select Share. Then enter or add
addresses to your message and click Send. The message thread displays—press QUIT to exit.
5. On the Tracking Setup page, select Start Tracking. The Tracking Details page displays. On the inReach, the Signal
and Tracking LEDs flash. If tracking points fail to send successfully, you will be notified.
6. To stop tracking, select Stop Tracking.
