Editing inReach SMS Message Coordinates, Map, and Signature Settings
Personal inReach® accounts offer the option of choosing what additional information can be included with SMS messages sent from an inReach device.
The following SMS settings can be enabled or disabled according to your preferences. These settings are optional and do not incur additional charges if enabled.
Include my latitude and longitude as text in the message.
The position format for latitude and longitude coordinates sent in SMS and Check-In Messages (formerly known as Preset Messages) enabled to include location is set to Decimal Degrees (WGS84) by default and cannot be changed.
Include a link to an online map with my location.
The online map will only display your location at the time the message was sent and will not update if you move to a different location after sending the message.
Include my name as a signature (otherwise, your name is not shown to the recipient).
When including a signature, the first and last name listed on the account will be used.
