I hope this will be a reality someday... While hiking the Foothills trail my hiking partner (15 minutes behind me) took a wrong turn and ended up in the woods. We both have Inreach units. Unfortunately no Guthook for this trail, only Gaia. I received general texts from him but I had no idea of a location. It would be a great feature if the Inreach units could accomodate the location of other hikers and display on Earthmate. Even if there were not a specific Guthook trail to display hiker's locations, a general topo display would be helpful.
I have a radio dog collar which displays both my location and the dog's location on my smart phone. One of the displays shows a "compass" pointing to the direction of the dog and a distance calculation. I realize that this technology is totally different from Inreach BUT I sure could have used it. Maybe I should have placed the collar around my friend's neck and used it. Unfortunately this collar doesn't shock.
Garmin, are monitoring WhiteBlaze posts?
