TWO-WAY MESSAGES
A simple user interface via the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone makes it easy to exchange text messages with loved ones via satellite or mobile networks.
FRICTION-FREE CONNECTION
Optimized inReach messaging that uses a cellular connection from your smartphone when available and then seamlessly switches to a 100% global Iridium ® satellite network when you leave the cellular network's available coverage area.
GROUP MESSAGES
With the Garmin Messenger app, your inReach connection supports threads and distribution of group messages. This allows you to share your experiences with several contacts at the same time - and have group chats with friends and family.
INTERACTIVE SOS ALARMS
In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response SM – a professional 24/7 emergency coordination center.
LOCATION SHARING
Share your location with loved ones at home using your MapShare™ page or with your GPS coordinates embedded in your messages.
FLEXIBLE SATELLITE SUBSCRIPTIONS
If you want to access the global Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Messenger device, an active satellite subscription is required. You can choose an annual package or a flexible month-to-month subscription.
COMPACT, ROBUST DESIGN
Don't be fooled by the 7.8 x 6.4 cm (3.1″ x 2.5″) size and 114g weight. The inReach Messenger is rugged, durable, impact resistant and water rated to IPX7.
SAFETY CHARGE
Need a backup feature if your compatible smartphone battery dies? Simply connect the inReach Messenger to your phone to obtain a sufficient safety charge to send a custom text message from the inReach Messenger device via the phone's touchscreen.
EXTRA LONG BATTERY LIFE
The built-in rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 28 days of battery life in 10 minutes of tracking mode, so you can do what you want for longer between charges.
