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.

    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?

    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😳

    Lag in message delivery, UI response, and now it won’t stop crashing after I open it. Not sure how this app has such high ratings with how consistently poor my experience has been for a year now.

    While Garmin hardware is exceptional, their software ecosystem is a disaster. Multiple systems that are not communicating with each other and nothing is properly documented. And when you contact their customer support, it quickly becomes obvious that their staff is lost in that chaos as well.
