What to Expect After a Tracking Request is Submitted

After a tracking request is made, it will try to get a response from the inReach handheld for up to five days.

To accept the tracking request, the inReach handheld needs to be powered on with a clear view of the sky. It can take up to 20 minutes for any changes to tracking to appear on the map.


Canceling or Deleting Tracking Requests

Once a tracking request has been confirmed by selecting OK (see steps above), it cannot be canceled and will continue trying for five days.

However, prior to selecting OK, clicking Cancel will stop the request before it is made if you do not want to proceed with the tracking request.
