A Comprehensive Comparison of Mapshare vs Location Share+ in ZOLEO and Garmin inReach Messenger Are you planning a remote outdoor adventure but worried about staying connected? You can easily keep in touch with your loved ones through satellite communicators like ZOLEO and Garmin inReach Messenger. In this article, we will compare two essential features of both brands: Mapshare vs Location Share+. Both Mapshare and Location Share+ allow you to enable tracking of your device that your contacts can follow without the need of sending messages. These features are ideal for long journeys without service where you want specific contacts to see your progress without waiting for you to send a message. You can specify the timing interval when to send a tracking or location point. For inReach, this feature uses the TRACKING function along with the MAPSHARE website. You can share the URL of Mapshare with those who want to view your location. However, it is important to note that MAPSHARE is a publically accessible website, so you need to make sure you have the settings defined the way you want. You can adjust these settings by logging into the Garmin Explore website or using the Garmin Messenger smartphone app. On the other hand, ZOLEO leverages the ZOLEO smartphone app. Only those who download the app and part of the 5 contacts you’ve defined to receive Location Share+ locations will receive it. This allows you to save time as you are not sharing a URL or adjusting any other settings. ZOLEO Location Share+ also has the option to allow you to display when you are not moving. ZOLEO also offers more information about your stops. While inReach will stop sending your location if you have not moved within a certain radius for an interval, ZOLEO provides valuable information about your stops. This helps viewers of your track to see when and how long you stopped. This can be particularly useful if people expect you to reach certain milestones but can see on the map that you have not moved. It's important to note that ZOLEO Location Share+ is an add-on feature. You will need to log into the ZOLEO portal and add this to your plan. You can remove it anytime. In conclusion, both Mapshare and Location Share+ offer similar features. However, ZOLEO Location Share+ is a more private option, and it provides more detailed information about your stops. We hope this comparison helps you choose the right satellite communicator for your next adventure. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Overview 1:39 Garmin inReach Messenger 4:30 ZOLEO smartphone app 8:50 Mapshare view 9:36 Garmin Explore Portal 11:30 ZOLEO more Settings 🛒AMAZON IDEA LISTS🛒 https://www.amazon.com/shop/jimcyr 🚨🚨Check out my Can-am Defender Gear List🚨🚨 https://www.amazon.com/shop/jimcyr?listId=15DU1N639X2QD - - - - - - - - - - - 🔗 WEBSITE 🔗 https://avoidingchores.com/ https://gps.training/ 📧 NEWSLETTER 📧 https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thecyr 📻 PODCAST 📻 Find us on iTunes & Stitcher, search for "Avoiding Chores" 🌟POPULAR PLAYLISTS 🌟 Garmin Tutorials    • #GarminTutorials   Outdoor Recreation    • #OutdoorRecreation   - - - - - - - - - - - What better way to avoid chores than to watch outdoor recreation based videos from Nova Scotia Canada.
