Description

Stay in touch with friends and family. Enjoy the security and connectivity of global messaging with the Garmin Messenger™ app. Pair with your compatible inReach® satellite communicator for fast, easy direct messaging and interactive SOS that’s not limited to cellphone coverage areas (active satellite subscription required). The app supports group messaging as well as photo and voice messaging when paired with a compatible Garmin device (1). Automatic switching between internet, cellular, and satellite networks gives you the best connectivity and efficiency for all your messaging. When you have connectivity, the app will work seamlessly even if your inReach device is turned off. Invite your friends and family to download the app to stay connected and keep the conversation going on and off the trail. With the use of the LiveTrack™ feature, loved ones can follow your location in real time (2) and see data such as distance, time and elevation.

Note: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used.

  • Render I reach useless

    The app randomly requests both you and others who have the app to reverify your phone number at random times. If the recipient of a message has not done this, then they will not receive the message. The message will still go through to people who do not have the Garmin app. In other words, it’s almost better to not have this app.
  • Won’t acknowledge device.

    Feels good knowing I have contact when I’m deep out there. Tried the cellular services SOS and satellite and they are good but not consistent like the Garmin. Glad to have it as a partner on all my adventures.

    Paired with iPad or phone is so great. Very convenient with larger screen. Been using to pull weather forecasts out in the wild. No emergency usage so far
  • Validate number?

    By Late??
    Was out fishing 20 miles off shore today and needed to text my wife to let her know we were ok but going to be late. The Garmin Messenger app decided that would be a good time to make me validate my cell number and the text would not go through until I had cell service. Nice😳
