Garmin Inreach Messenger

The Garmin Inreach Messenger keeps you in touch beyond the reach of mobile phone networks when off the grid. This small, rugged satellite communicator goes beyond the limits of cellular networks to keep friends and family in reach with global 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 a cellular connection of your smartphone when it’s available, then it seamlessly switches to a 100% global Iridium® satellite network when you go beyond available cellular coverage range.

GROUP MESSAGING

With the Garmin Messenger app, your inReach connection supports group message threading and distribution. So, you can share your adventures with multiple contacts simultaneously — and have group text chats with friends and family.

INTERACTIVE SOS ALERTS

In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7-staffed emergency response coordination center.

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.

FLEXIBLE SATELLITE AIRTIME PLANS

To access the global Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Messenger device, an active satellite subscription is required. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.

SYNC YOUR CONTACTS LIST

The Garmin Messenger app can sync with your compatible smartphone’s contacts list to make staying in touch even easier.

ON-DEVICE DISPLAY

The inReach Messenger device’s high-end memory-in-pixel screen gives you the ability to confirm that messages have been sent, and you can even read responses right on the device.

CHECK-IN MESSAGES

Check in with contacts directly from the inReach Messenger by using preset messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages with an active satellite subscription.

OTHER GARMIN DEVICES

Remotely control your inReach Messenger device to send and receive text messages or trigger an interactive SOS using your compatible Garmin handhelds, marine equipment, aviation equipment, wearables or other select smart devices.

INREACH WEATHER FORECAST SERVICE

Get detailed weather updates on inReach Messenger or your paired compatible device. You can even request forecasts for your current location, other waypoints or destinations on your itinerary.

TRACBACK ROUTING

The TracBack routing feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came, should you get lost — right on your device.
