Key Features
- Compact SOS satellite communicator enables two-way text, photo and voice messaging even in areas with no mobile phone coverage; requires active subscription (some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)
- Connect with your compatible smartphone using the Garmin Messenger app to share your adventures with multiple contacts simultaneously; send text messages with up to 1,600 characters, share photos and send 30-second voice messages with friends and family
- Explore with peace of mind knowing you can trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response, a 24/7-staffed international coordination centre, to seek help in an emergency (active subscription required; some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)
- Check in with friends and family by using preset phrases that do not count against your monthly allotted text messages, or send custom messages when you have more to say
- Optimised inReach device messaging uses either Wi-Fi technology or the mobile connection of your smartphone then seamlessly switches to satellite technology when you go beyond mobile coverage (active subscription required; some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)
