Unleashing Connectivity Beyond Borders
Embarking on the road less traveled has always been our thing, right? But what happens when we’re off the grid, far from the familiar hum of cellphone signals? Enter the game-changer — the inReach® Messenger by Garmin, a rugged satellite communicator that’s rewriting the rules of connectivity.
Global Connectivity, Local Freedom:
Picture this: You’re deep in the wilderness, surrounded by nature’s grandeur, and the cell bars drop to zero. No worries. With inReach®, you’re not isolated. This lightweight marvel enables two-way text messaging globally, bridging the gap where cell coverage fears to tread. Stay connected with friends and family, share your stories, and coordinate your adventures with the Garmin Messenger app.
SOS, Your 24/7 Lifeline:
What’s even cooler is the interactive SOS feature. In case of an emergency, you can send an SOS to the Garmin IERCC 24/7-staffed monitoring center. It’s like having a safety net wherever you go. Safety is non-negotiable, especially when exploring off the beaten path. The interactive SOS feature of inReach® connects you to the Garmin IERCC 24/7-staffed monitoring center. If an emergency strikes, help is just a button away. The device provides confirmation that your SOS message has been sent, offering reassurance in critical moments.
Group Messaging, Anywhere:
Our adventures are meant to be shared. The Garmin Messenger app allows group messaging, creating a virtual meeting place for all of us, irrespective of where we are. You can use the Garmin Messenger app for group messaging. It’s like a private chat room just for you, no matter where you are. And with preset check-in messages, keeping your loved ones in the loop is a breeze. No more worrying about missing out on updates or hilarious anecdotes — we’re connected, always.
Preset Check-Ins:
Sometimes, a simple check-in is all it takes to let loved ones know you’re safe. With preset check-in messages that don’t eat into your allotted text messages, keeping your circle informed becomes effortless.
Battery Life, the Unsung Hero:
Let’s talk practicality. The inReach® boasts an impressive battery life — up to 28 days between charges in the 10-minute tracking mode. That’s more time for you to stay on the trail without worrying about power.
Versatility Unleashed:
Pair the inReach® with your smart devices or other Garmin gadgets for seamless integration. It’s not just a satellite communicator.

Messages
Your inReach® Messenger device sends and receives text messages using the Iridium® satellite network. You can send messages to an SMS phone number, an email address, or another device that uses inReach technology. Each message you send includes your location details where allowed.
inReach Tracking
You can use the tracking feature on your inReach® Messenger device to record track points and transmit them over the Iridium® satellite network at the specified send interval.
SOS
Before you can use the SOS function, you must have an active satellite subscription. Always test your device before you use it outdoors.
Ensure you have a clear view of the sky when using the SOS function, because this feature requires satellite access to operate properly.
During an emergency, you can use your inReach® Messenger device to contact the Garmin Response℠ center to request help. Pressing the SOS button sends a message to the Garmin Response team, and they notify the appropriate emergency responders of your situation. You can communicate with the Garmin Response team during your emergency while you wait for help to arrive. You should only use the SOS function in a real emergency situation.
