Earthmate for Positive User Reviews
✓ Pretty good - one glitchI just got an inReach mini and am getting used to it. So far I like the app but I found one glitch. When I go to download by region, there is no NEXT button. In fact, there is one, but it is invisible in the top right corner. Other than that I am pretty happy with it..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Amazing inReach!!Love the gadget! I have a zumu xt gps unit and it’s amazing how the different devices share the information, way points and sync etc! Was easy to set up, activate and messaging works great. Love the technology really! Works with my iPhone no issues. Also desktop PC. Great instructions all round! Not a huge price to pay to keep safe if you are a regular!.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Excellent App - Read description & instructionsApp without the related inReach device is very good with internet access. When used with the inReach device, the app is fantastic, very helpful for navigation PLUS ability to text with contacts..Version: 2.6
✓ Glitch in dark modeWhen the iphone is in dark mode note able to see the text I write in message. Needed to remove from dark mode to see what I write.Version: 2.8.4
✓ Easy to Use w/ tons of informationSuper easy to connect to InReach device thru Earthmate. Downloadable maps for everywhere, including the middle of nowhere Mongolia. Really appreciated knowing how much further a destination was when there was no road signage. Elevation indicator was cool, especially travelling in the mountains and below sea level. Its GPS in an app!.Version: 1.8
✓ Needs to check for messages more frequentlyI have loved the Garmin inReach. My work is primarily out of cell service and so I use it to keep in touch with work and my wife. The only thing that I want improved is the frequency that it checks for messages without having to manually check for them. My suggestion would be to either have it check every five minutes or allow the user to set a timer in the app or on the device to send out a manual check for messages at specified intervals. I would love to be able to set my inReach up to check for messages every 5 minutes or while hunting set it up to check every 30 minutes. Long story short I think it would be a huge improvement to allow the user to specify the frequency of how often it checks for new messages..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Works well with inReach MiniWould be even better if Preset Messages could be selected & sent from app, please add this function..Version: 2.8
✓ Great Nav AppI use this app on my phone for navigating backcountry snowmobiling. I always carry my inreach in my pack for emergency use only. I use Earthmate on my phone for navigating. The downloadable topo maps have saved me many times, and have also helped me find new rideable areas as well. It seems many people have given negative reviews due to the inreach not linking up properly to their phone. I don’t usually ever mess with that. I keep it powered off in my pack. Using it for nav would be clumsy compared to using Earthmate. I save it incase my phone battery runs out or if I need to communicate while out of cell service for some reason. My only complaint about it would be that it only saves a certain amount of tracks. I’m not sure if it’s time or total mileage, but after a while old tracks will disappear. That said it stand by my five star rating, just for the fact of how many times it has helped me either get out of trouble or find new areas to get into more trouble. (Haha).Version: 2.9.1
✓ Keeps me connectedI've used on numerous mountaineering, heliboarding, hiking, camping and hunting trips to track my route, update my website and communicate with loved ones. Paired with an InReach device it gives me the right level of "contactableness" and a backup access to SAR should the worst case scenario happen. Basically I don't go in the back country without it..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Works fine, features requestedThe Bluetooth sync is awesome. Most features work fine. Wishlist: 1- Hide old tracks in app (like on the device)! Like past 24 h, etc. 2- Bug: The account always logs out in the latest version of the app. Was not doing that before. 3- Can't figure out how to switch between map types!!! Same problem on the device. More info in the doc and better interface needed..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Almost perfect backcountry mapping appI used this on a road trip through Western Canada and in the Northern Yukon this summer and with a few exceptions in remote areas, the downloadable maps are sufficient. It works well with the Garmin Explorer+. Sometimes the Bluetooth connection dropped and required a restart of the iPad or switching BT on and off. Best feature I found is the messaging. Sending 160 character messages from the remotest places are great. Also the weather forecasts. I wished there would be a support page for the app for suggestions. I'd like to see a thin cross marker on mapping page center, for more accurate waypoint marking. I'd like to see movable waypoint markers too. The Open Street Maps are okay, but often not detailed enough in remote areas, or even accurate. For Canada I'd like to be able to download the Toporama maps. Also please add a distance measuring option that can measure finger movement along a planned trail or road section. Other than that, a very good mapping and navigation app..Version: 2.6
✓ Awesome!!We used the Earthmate app for 4 months while traveling through 37 countries on our trip to and from Mongolia, crossing deserts and mountain ranges. Thanks to Earthmate and the InReach Explorer device we managed to successfully locate some of the most remotes and amazing areas we were headed to (not findable on regular maps), keep track of our progress and route, as well as keep in touch with our family and friends. The app allows you to send direct messages , and update you social media from anywhere in the world. I highly recommend the Earthmate app to anyone!! Definitely will us it again in a future expedition! Corinne- team Offtrax.Version: 1.8
✓ 35 countries thank you EarhtmateSo nice to keep our 1000’s of followers aware of where we were as we crossed 35 countries as we did the Mongolian charity rally from London England to UB Mongolia. www.OffTrax.ca Texting to family and friends in the middle of nowhere in a Stan country , PRICELESS.Version: 1.8
✓ Works great!!The earthmate app & in reach worked great. I used it with in on reach on a 6 day rafting trip on the middle fork of the salmon river; deep canyon walls, zero cell service for the entire trip. The only thing that I couldn’t get to work was an alert on my iPhone 13 but the inreach alerts user when a new message is available..Version: 2.11
✓ NOAA CHARTS!I would have been 100% onboard with getting the mini2, HOWEVER! The removal of NOAA charts was a deal breaker for me. And TBH think I like the older digital compass. I’ll live with the shorter battery, it’s already good enough. If Garmin wants me to go to the mini 2 it should haven’t taken features away from the mini2.Version: 2.11
✓ Must have for InreachEarthmate for iPhone has worked very well overall. Have used it over 5 days off road motorcycling with no cell service and still communicated with home texting up to 30 times a day. Won't be without my Inreach or earthmate. As far as I'm concerned the only way to go..Version: 2.1
✓ Needs a watch appThis would be even better if I could could text from my Apple Watch when I leave my phone behind..Version: 2.11
✓ Almost thereThis is a great tool for use with the Inreach devices. It takes the hassle out of typing messages. Data bursts from the Inreach device are updated far quicker than other devices on the market. This app makes using the device via Bluetooth a breeze. But the account sync can be hit and miss. Hopefully DeLorme will continue to invest time into this app..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Nice redesignNew Dark mode seems half done. Can’t see text white on white when I type. Hopefully they do a proper dark mode. Still the easiest way to stay in touch. I have been using the inreach with an external antenna attached. Near real-time texting. Amazing and great to stay in touch while in the middle of the gulf of Alaska. Really liking the new look on the iPhone X. By far the easiest way to stay in touch when there is no cell phone service. It would be great to have a dark theme as well. I love the InReach and the ability to easily stay in touch with my family while away from home. One thing I wish the app did is remember when I edit which icons are accessible. It always seems to rest to the default layout. Please fix. It’s annoying to have to rearrange every time I open the app. I believe it happens when my phone looses Bluetooth connection..Version: 2.8.4
✓ InReachCanadaThis app worked great with iPhone 4 & 5 models. Easily access all your contacts on your phone from Earthmate software. Map program is not suitable for mountain navigation but provides usefull place names and route tracking options..Version: 1.4
✓ Communiquer par satellite à peu de fraisCette application rend votre Delorme vraiment intéressant, permettant d'envoyer et de recevoir des mails en mer très facilement (ça vous donnes un clavier). Permet de contrôler toutes les fonctions du Delorme et ajoute des possibilités comme de décider du laps de temps entre les points transmis pour économiser les batteries..Version: 1.4
✓ Excellent app if you have the Satellite TrackerThis app is amazing for outdoor adventure. It connects to your Delorme/Garmin satellite tracker via Bluetooth and let’s you use your phone screen instead of the tracker itself. I’ve taken this on many adventures and it’s the perfect compliment to the satellite tracker..Version: 2.6.1
✓ InReach ExplorerWe love our InReach Explorer we live off grid and have used it for a few years now to communicate with friends and family. It also gives our family a way to see where we are and know that we are okay, especially in the winter when we don’t go to town. It took a little getting used but not a big deal.Version: 2.8.3
✓ Great ProductI've been using this app with the inReach SE. Works very well. It would be nice to see the web setup and account maintenance integrated into the app so everything is in one place and sync automatically. I can only get the device to pair to one device at a time and your have to tell the device to forget the previous pair to pair with a new device. The SMS is what I bought this for and it works well..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Not so disappointed!V. 1.7.3 Really good to see Delorme continuing to update. The app now seems to do everything it claims. There are improvements that could be made to the GUI/HI, but fundamentally it does the job. Good to see continued work on the web portal as well. Great, maps apparently fixed in this release, though I have not managed to test yet due to limited GSM band width. Still not working is the display of the messages on the iPad. Both sent and received messages appear truncated in the message bubbles. The full messages are received and sent by the device and can be fully viewed on the device, but not in the iPad (air, current iOS). Does work on iPhone. The device is doing its core messaging and tracking job very well. Please keep the updates coming....! Initial review: Ok, so messaging side of things seems to work well, but the maps function has major issues when using an iPad Air. Library and data functions do not work. The maps download, but do not display. Zoom out and you get very blotchy coverage, zoom in and nothing at all. Maps do seem to work on an iPhone 5, but there is no choice, it is topographic only (Europe, Austrailia), and the quality is very poor, many minor roads missing etc. You would be screwed if you were trying to navigate using it. On the hardware side, the inreach Explorer device does seem very good at sending/receiving messages and acquiring GPS, though the navigation functions on it are poor. + Good communications and tracking from hardware. Core function works a treat. - Broken earthmate software on iPad Very poor resolution maps Poor navigation features on device DeLorme: you've got the hardware working, make me happy... sort out the software. Oh-yes, your messing about with my credit card details triggered my bank to cancel it because of suspected fraudulent activity. Way to go!.Version: 1.7.3
✓ I use this app quite a bitI like the Earthmate app. I use it a lot as I spend 50% of my life overseas and most of that at sea. I would like to sea a night time display scheme as well as colour options for the text bubbles in the messaging section - a different colour for each contact for example. I only use the app to text about 6 different people so this would be great..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Does the job.This programme is required to enable the more sophisticated functions of the inReach satellite communicator. With Earthmate installed and the inReach paired (Bluetooth) it becomes possible to send and receive SMS in areas where there is no cell phone network. Intuitive interface. Maps for free that can be downloaded for areas that you intend to go are stored on the phone for access when beyond the network. In brief; costs nothing, does the job..Version: 1.3
✓ I love itI use Earthmate almost ten months out of the year, out in the middle of the pacific. I love how easy it is to use with my iPad and iPhone for texting family back home from my Garmin Explorer+. It’s so easy to stay in contact with my loved ones now. Only wish it was easier to sync contacts. Other than that, I love it..Version: 2.7.2
✓ Not bad - some sync issues.Had some issues with the app saying the inReach device is not activated, even though it definitely is as I could send and receive test messages. Had to delete the app and reinstall to fix that one. Also had one crash when hitting messages before un/re-installing the app..Version: 2.6.2
