Off-Grid Messaging & Location Sharing
The Motorola T803 goes beyond the capabilities of a conventional walkie talkie. When connected to a compatible smartphone through Bluetooth, the Motorola TALKABOUT app uses the radio to transmit information over radio frequencies, allowing compatible T800-series users to communicate even when cellular service isn't available.
TALKABOUT app features include:
Off-grid text messaging
Group and broadcast messaging
Location sharing
Offline maps
Track recording and statistics
Push-to-talk from your smartphone
Radio settings controlled through the app
Silent communication
This makes the T803 an excellent choice for groups exploring remote areas where cellular coverage may be weak or unavailable.
What3words Precise Location Tracking
The TALKABOUT app incorporates what3words location technology. What3words divides the world into approximately 10-foot squares, assigning each square a unique three-word address. This allows users to communicate a precise campsite, trail location, meeting point or other position without relying solely on a traditional street address. Motorola specifically promotes this capability for communicating precise locations while exploring outdoors and away from cellular service.
