VOICE MESSAGES

Use the built-in speaker and microphone on the device or your compatible smartphone paired to the Garmin Messenger™ app to send a 30-second voice1 message, no mobile coverage needed. You can also read transcribed voice messages on the colour display.

TEXT MESSAGES

Use the keyboard on the touchscreen display to exchange longer text messages1 with up to 1,600 characters each, directly on the device. Or, connect your compatible smartphone to the Garmin Messenger app, and exchange text messages, send emojis and reactions, or start a group chat.

PHOTO SHARING

Share photos1 of your adventures when you pair the device with your compatible smartphone using the Garmin Messenger app. You can also view received photos² right on your device’s color display.

SOS MESSAGING

Explore with peace of mind knowing you can send an interactive SOS message1 with your GPS coordinates to Garmin Response, our 24/7-staffed international coordination centre, for help in an emergency. And, instead of relying on tower-based mobile phone coverage, your messages are sent via the global Iridium satellite network.

LIVETRACK™ SHARING

With an active inReach satellite subscription, you can easily let friends or family follow your location while you’re on the move; no need to point your device directly toward the sky to find satellites. They can see your progress, including distance, time and elevation.

STAY ON TRACK

Use the Garmin Explore smartphone app to enhance your experience; plan your trip and follow your course to your destination and back.
