Garmin - inReach Explorer +
Explore Anywhere — Communicate Everywhere
With inReach satellite technology from Garmin and a satellite subscription, you can stay in touch globally. You can send and receive messages, navigate your route, track and share your journey and, if necessary, trigger an SOS to get emergency help from a 24/7 global monitoring center via the 100% global Iridium®satellite network.
Combining global satellite messaging with robust map-based outdoor navigation, inReach Explorer+ is our do-it-all performer. It provides GPS guidance with preloaded TOPO mapping viewable directly on the colour display. A built-in digital compass, barometric altimeter and accelerometer help you get and maintain accurate bearings, on or off the beaten path.
Two-way Messaging
Garmin products that include inReach technology are designed to keep you connected. The Iridium satellite network lets you send and receive custom and preset text messages or emails and then get a response back.
GPS/Navigation
All inReach-enabled Garmin products offer GPS navigation — ranging from compass and bearing capabilities to basic grid waypoint marking and breadcrumb trails to sophisticated on-map guidance with detailed TOPO graphics, route mapping, altimeter/barometer/compass reference and more.
Social tracking and sharing
When wirelessly paired with select inReach devices via Bluetooth® wireless technology, the free Earthmate® app lets you use your smartphone or tablet for texting, tracking, map viewing and triggering an SOS from anywhere via your inReach device's connection. Earthmate also lets you access downloads of topographic maps, colour aerial imagery and more on your mobile device.
Weather forecast
Know before you go. Receive weather forecasts directly on your inReach device, so you can make educated decisions based on local conditions or the destination ahead. Choose from 3 forecasts: basic, premium non-marine and premium marine.
Professional SOS Monitoring
In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to GEOS, a professional 24/7 global monitoring centre. Their trained staff are available to respond to your message, track your device and notify emergency responders in your area — giving you the peace of mind that help is on the way. GEOS will stay in touch with you and your emergency contacts until your situation is resolved.
Earthmate App
Earthmate is a full-featured GPS navigation app and off-the-grid satellite connection. With Earthmate, you can use your smartphone or tablet to access downloadable maps, U.S. NOAA charts, colour aerial imagery and more. Pairing via Bluetooth with compatible inReach-enabled products lets you use the app on your mobile device to send two-way text messages – and even link to your social media accounts – globally. The app can also pair inReach with your mobile device's address book, so it's easier to stay in touch.
Subscriptions: Affordability Meets Flexibility
To access the Iridium satellite network for live tracking and messaging, including SOS capabilities, an active satellite subscription is required. Affordable annual contract or month-to-month airtime packages are available.
