Garmin Explore
The Garmin Explore website and app allow you to
create courses, waypoints, and collections, plan
trips, sync tracks, upload activities, and use cloud
storage. They offer advanced planning both online and
offline, allowing you to share and sync data with your
compatible Garmin device. You can use the app to
download maps for offline access, and then navigate
anywhere without using your cellular service.
You can download the Garmin Explore app from the app
store on your phone (Garmin.com/exploreapp), or you
can go to explore.Garmin.com.
Garmin Messenger App
WARNING
The inReach features of the Garmin Messenger app,
including SOS, tracking, and inReach Weather, are
not available without a connected inReach satellite
communicator and an active satellite subscription.
Always test the app outdoors before using it on a trip.
CAUTION
The non-satellite messaging features of the Garmin
Messenger app alone should not be relied on as a
primary method to obtain emergency assistance.
NOTICE
The app works over both the internet (using a wireless
connection or cellular data on your phone) and the
Iridium
®
satellite network. If you are using cellular
data, your paired phone must be equipped with a
data plan and be in an area of network coverage
where data is available. If you are in an area without
network coverage, you must have an active satellite
subscription for your inReach satellite communicator
to use the Iridium satellite network.
You can use the app to message other Garmin
Messenger app users, including friends and family
without Garmin devices. Anyone can download
the app and connect their phone, allowing them to
communicate with other app users over the internet
(no login is required). App users can also create group
messaging threads with other SMS phone numbers.
New members added to the group message can
download the app to see what others are saying.
Messages sent using a wireless connection or cellular
data on your phone do not incur data charges or
additional charges on your satellite subscription.
Messages received may incur charges if message
delivery is attempted over both the Iridium satellite
network and the internet. Standard text messaging
rates for your cellular data plan apply.
You can download the Garmin Messenger app from the
app store on your phone (Garmin.com/messengerapp).
