forecasts for your current location or a new location, such as a saved waypoint. Weather forecasts incur data
charges or additional charges on your inReach subscription.
Requesting an inReach Weather Forecast
For the best results, you should ensure your device has a clear view of the sky when you request an inReach

Your device can send a message to request a basic, premium, or marine weather forecast using your inReach
subscription. You can receive weather forecasts for your current location, a waypoint, GPS coordinates, or a
location you choose on the map. Weather forecasts incur data charges or additional charges on your inReach
subscription.
1 Select inReach > inReach Weather > New Forecast.
2 If necessary, select Forecast Type, and select a Basic or Premium weather forecast.
3 If necessary, select Location, and select a location.
By default, the device requests weather for your current location.

large body of water. Marine forecasts are not available for land locations or inland lakes.
5 Select Get Forecast.
The device sends a request for the forecast. It may take several minutes to receive the weather forecast data.
