Is it possible to track a friend’s inReach location?

Setting Up Location Sharing

To track a friend’s inReach location, the first step is to set up location sharing on their device. This involves going to the inReach Explorer app on their phone or tablet, logging in with their account credentials, and enabling the “Share My Location” feature. From there, they can add your email address or phone number to their list of sharers, allowing you to view their location on a map.

Tracking a Friend’s Location

Once location sharing has been set up, you can track your friend’s location using the inReach Explorer app on your phone or tablet. Simply log in to your account, navigate to the “Shared Locations” tab, and select your friend’s name from the list of shared users. You can then view their location on a map, which will update every 10 minutes or less, depending on their inReach plan.

Additional Considerations

It’s worth noting that location sharing requires a cellular signal or satellite connectivity, and may not be available in areas with poor or no coverage. Additionally, your friend must have an active inReach plan and have enabled location sharing on their device. By following these steps and considering these factors, you can easily track your friend’s inReach location with their permission.
