Garmin inReach Messenger

If you’re venturing off the grid, this small, rugged satellite communicator goes beyond the limits of cellular networks to keep friends and family in reach with two-way text messaging.

Two-Way Messaging - A simple user interface through the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone makes it easy to exchange text messages with loved ones via satellite or cellular networks.

Seamless Connection - Optimized inReach messaging uses your smartphone's cellular connection when it's available, then seamlessly switches to a 100% global Iridium® satellite network when you go beyond available cellular coverage range.

Group Messaging - Use your smartphone and the Garmin Messenger app to send group messages.

Interactive SOS - Explore with peace of mind knowing you can trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response centre, a 24/7 staffed international coordination centre for help in an emergency.

Location Sharing - Share your location with loved ones back home anytime by using your MapShare™ page or with your GPS coordinates embedded in your messages.

On-Device Display - Use the screen to confirm that messages have been sent, send messages and read responses, even when your phone battery dies.

Check-In Messages - Send simple check-in messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages.

Sync your Contacts - Easily find your contacts with the Garmin Messenger app and your compatible smartphone.

Control Remotely - Send and receive text messages, or trigger an interactive SOS message remotely by using select compatible Garmin products.

inReach Weather - Get weather reports and even request forecasts for your destinations.

Tracback Routing - Use this feature to navigate back to where you started the same way you came.

Rugged Design - This compact and lightweight device is tough, durable, impact-resistant and water-rated to IPX7.

Safety Charging - Dead phone battery? Connect your phone to the device and use the device's battery to charge it.

Battery That Lasts - The internal, rechargeable lithium battery gives you up to 28 days of battery life in 10-minute tracking mode.
