Global communication and navigation in one compact package. The Explorer uses the reliable Iridium satellite network to let you send and receive text messages anywhere on the planet, and update social media from the ends of the earth. You can pre-enter waypoints and routes or follow a breadcrumb trail back to your starting point. The built-in digital compass, altimeter-barometer and accelerometer assist with navigation while providing accurate speed and track log stats. Use the Explorer on its own, or pair it with your iPhone®, iPad® or Android device to download maps and access additional functionality.
