Team Tracking is a feature available for inReach Flex Team Professional plans that lets the Tread® XL - Baja Chase and/or Tread® XL - Race Edition GPS navigator send and receive position updates from one device to another. Race teams can see the position of all members on the map and can send and receive messages to the team.
To track an inReach® satellite communicator, such as an inReach® Mini, from the display of a Tread® XL - Baja Chase and/or Tread® XL - Race Edition device, see Tracking an inReach Device from the Tread XL - Baja Chase or Race Edition.
If you need assistance with the following and/or switching to a Flex Team Professional plan, contact inReach Professional Account Support.
See Troubleshooting section for issues after set up.
