This activity is aimed for Leaders and Members who aren't sure if they're using inReach 'Preset Messages' efficiently, whether they know all the features and short cuts.
It will be run via Zoom.
-Setting up Free 'Preset Messages' with attached Location maps
-How to use Free 'Preset Messages' with attached Location maps, to send Way points (from the walked track), letting people know at home where you walk (send live updates with Free 'Preset Messages'),

a Reminder to all, when using an 'inReach Mini' before making an Emergency call or sending off 'Preset Messages'
-1st make sure you have your coordinates on 'Location' visible on your inReach Mini screen
-2nd choose 1 of the 3 preset messages, and send it off,
(without your coordinates on 'Location' visible on your inReach Mini screen, it will not send your Location coordinates)

Remember; we have 1 Free test included with our inReach Mini per month;
inReach is sending to & receiving from inReach server, and it should display 'all ok', after the test is finished on your inReach Mini screen,
To do that; press the 'ok' button on your device,
then select 'Utilities' on your screen (using up & down buttons to find it), press 'ok' button',
then you should see 'Test service' on your screen, press 'ok',
and wait until it is done with your test result .....
