InReach - does it matter which model I get

[[email protected]]

DeLorme AG-009871-201 inReach SE is about 100 bucks cheaper than


DeLorme AG-008727-201 InReach Explorer Two Way Satellite Communicator with Built in Navigation

I really don't need the navigation - I do want it to supply hight and speed. Does it matter which I buy?

Assuming you have other devices for GPS navigation no reason to get that for the InReach. Both provide altitude and position reporting and both can send / receive messages. You can pair the non navigation unit with an iPhone or similar device using a Delorme app for navigation which I do on hikes but not in the glider.

I totally agree. Quite a few reviews talk about how poor the navigation is for hiking. It's infinitely worse in a cockpit as the screen is too small and the interface requires far too many clicks. But the non nag features are great, infinitely better than spot. Buy the cheap one!

Oops, typo - nag was meant to be nav.
