MULTI-GNSS SUPPORT

Download BirdsEye Satellite Imagery directly to the handheld for better-than-real-life views of your route, trailheads, clearings and more.

INTERACTIVE SOS
In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to GEOS, a professional 24/7 global monitoring and response centre (satellite subscription required).
LOCATION SHARING
Track your location, and share it with those at home or out in the field so they can see your progress or ping your device for your GPS location and more (satellite subscription required).
