More on Delorme InReach Satellite Tracker

Hi Frank,

My experience so far had been that the tracking intervals was fixed at
10 minutes. They did seem to have custom options that would allow
finer grained tracking updates, but I don't think they have been
implemented yet.

As a standalone device it is very comparable to spot devices. The two
way messaging when paired with an android device has huge potential,
but admittedly goes beyond our needs for xc tracking.

We will just have to see what changes and features they launch the
final version with. They have been pretty responsive to input so far,
but I know that they need to draw a line and release it. So we will
likely see more and more features opened up since they have built
themselves a platform that will expand pretty easily.

Pricing is going to be an interesting factor in adoption i think.
Market it at a comparable price to spot, you will probably get some
people to jump over because of the altitude, heading and velocity
info. At the current price point, I don't think they will have as much
luck.
