InReach - does it matter which model I get by
[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?
