The bottom line for me is when I was on the backside of Mount Herman (west side), I lost cell coverage and there were many times trails took off in different locations and they were definitely not on the map, plus when I lost cell service, I couldn’t get the same information I was enjoying earlier. That may be because I took little detours to check things out. I was hiking just north of Colorado Springs yesterday and the map said it was a 9.3 mile loop around Mount Herman but I felt like and other GPS information said that I may have gone over 11 miles. I would love to hear more from you about how your team conducts a search and what equipment is used to locate a signal from an emergency locator beacon.īefore yesterday’s 12 mile hike, I would have told you the Garmin inReach Explorer+ would be great for longer, more remote hikes but that is not true at all. I know I did not answer your question specifically but I will be learning more about this soon. I will be finding out more about this also with how the Gunnison Mountain Search and Rescue team operates. I am not sure if the search teams are using emergency locator beacons themselves but it would be smart as they are breaking off into groups to search the area and an emergency beacon would be wise to have on each of the team members. Search teams will be using the signal being sent from Garmin inReach Explorer+ to track and help locate the person. On that note, I will be learning more about it as my daughter has joined the mountain search rescue team in Gunnision, Colorado so this will be on the top of my list to learn from her. I cannot answer your question completely as I am not aware of the tracking tools that search and rescue teams use to locate a signal coming from a locator beacon, such as the Explorer+. They in turn, send out rescue alerts to SAR agencies around the world. The messages are sent to GEOS, located in Houston, Texas. The Garmin inReach Explorer+ uses the global Iridium satellite network and when the SOS is activated, the message is sent out to a rescue monitoring center.
