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 mobile networks.

SEAMLESS CONNECTION

Optimised inReach messaging uses a mobile connection of your smartphone when it’s available, then it seamlessly switches to a 100% global Iridium® satellite network when you go beyond available mobile 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 centre.

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 satellite communicator, an active satellite subscription is required. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.

COMPACT, RUGGED DESIGN

Don’t let the 3.1″ x 2.5″ size and 114 g weight fool you. inReach Messenger satellite communicator is tough, durable, impact-resistant and water-rated to IPX7.

SAFETY CHARGING

Need a backup option in case your compatible smartphone battery dies? Just connect inReach Messenger to your phone for enough safety charge to send a custom text message from the inReach Messenger device via your phone’s touchscreen.

EXTRA-LONG BATTERY LIFE

The internal, rechargeable lithium battery gives you up to 28 days of battery life in 10-minute tracking mode, so you can do what you love longer between recharges.

Connect to more capabilities.

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 satellite communicator’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 satellite communicator by using preset messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages with an active *satellite subscription.

*Satellite subscription required. Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices. It is your responsibility to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used.
