Here on Phones Review we like to provide our readers a variety of different applications that they can download to their mobile devices, and today we have news of the Earthmate app that is the perfect satellite communicator and is also available for the Android and iOS platforms.
The application will pair your mobile device with an inReach 2-way satellite communicator so you can reach contacts no matter where you are, even if you are outside of cell phone range. This free application enables users to all the exclusive capabilities of the inReach satellite, which includes two way text messaging.
Using the application will keep you connected with family, sharing information with work colleagues, or get emergency assistance with confirmation provided as your messages are delivered. Messages can also be posted to your Facebook and Twitter so your friends can track your travels online.
There is also the option of unlimited downloads of DeLorme Topo North America maps to be displayed on your handset. The US and Canada are covered in detail by Topo North America that includes elevation contours, back roads, streets, land cover, US trails, lakes, streams, and places of interest.
The maps are all cached onto your device so they are viewable even when there is no cell phone signal, and the display will integrate with your handsets GPS signal to locate your exact location on the map. To find out more and to download the application head over to the Apple App Store, and requires iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later. Android users can find out more via Google Play.
