Has anyone heard anything one way or another as to whether a new DeLorme Inreach will be released? I’m thinking about getting one when the REI dividends get distributed but would hate to buy one and have a new version come out soon after.

Pure speculation, but I reckon even if there is one in the works the Garmin acquisition of Delorme will push it out 3-6 months… I’d imagine they’ll want to Garmin-ise it a bit.
Call Garmin and ask them. Then report back to us.

I spoke with them the other day and inquired about new models and the impact of the aquasition . There is no official news on any new releases and Allyson in CS informed me that they don’t get any forward info on releases until just before new units are dropped on them. She said it is was just too early to tell what changes will be made if any with the new owners as the buy out was just being completed. For my first inquiries on usage and features I found CS very pleasant and helpful to deal with. I was sent an email with a bunch of product info I inquired about but haven’t read over yet.
Probably not very helpful but that’s all I got.
Historically new Inreach models have been released in May and I have been holding out to see if they released a new one this year, however if there isn’t it would’t surprise me with Garmin buying them out.
I would love some info if somebody finds something out.
Has anyone heard anything about a new Inreach model? I haven’t but wanted to make sure I checked before I pulled the trigger.
I plan on using it in WRR this August.
They have just added a weather option http://www.inreachdelorme.com/product-info/inreach-weather.php

That’ll be helpful.
