Good News on Delorme InReach (2 min tracking and altitude vs. Spot w/10 min tracking and no altitude)

Hi Sean,

To answer a question below - Yes - The standard "consumer" plans with 10
minute (or longer) tracking also report altitude, groundspeed and heading.

Best Regards,

Ramy,

You got it! :-). DeLorme InReach appears to be night and day better when
compared to Spot. I never liked Spot to be honest and suspect that many of
you felt the same. It annoyed me how poor and out of date it's website was.
The mobile app was poor. As you can see from my sample track, DeLormes
website is of very high quality. It runs beautifully on PC, Mac, Android
and IOS. I am able to easily access all functions on any device or browser.
The software is well thought out and complete.

Your followers do have the ability (if tracking is forgotten or off) to ping
you at any time and see your location, speed and altitude within 1 min
typically. They do this simply thru the website tracking page. They can
also very easily send you a text message and IF you have the mobile app you
can read it (note: having your cell phone on board during contest flight is
currently illegal according to the SSA US contest rules :-( )

The costs are negligible for the aviation plans (2 min tracking interval)
AND I still want someone to test if the regular plans provide altitude with
10 min updates. I suspect they do provide altitude as well but have not
confirmed.
