Satellite messaging communicator of the Garmin brand.

When your adventures take you to remote places, this small and rugged satellite communication device1 goes beyond the limits of mobile networks to let you keep in touch with family and friends through global two-way text messaging

The simple user interface of the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone makes it easy to send and receive text messages with loved ones using cellular or satellite networks.

inReach's optimized messaging uses your smartphone's cellular connection when available, seamlessly switching to a network of Iridium® 100% global when you venture beyond the confines of mobile coverage.

With the Garmin Messenger app, the inReach connection can transmit and distribute group messages. This means you can share your adventures with multiple contacts at the same time and group chat with your family and friends.

In an emergency, activate an interactive SOS message to the Garmin IERCC, a 24-hour staffed emergency rescue coordination center.

Share your location anytime with loved ones back home via the MapShare™ page or add your GPS coordinates to messages.

Accessing Iridium's global network and communicating with your inReach Messenger device requires an active subscription to satellite services. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible monthly plan.

Don't be fooled by its 3.1? x 2.5? And at 114g, the inReach Messenger is robust, durable and impact resistant, with a IPX7 water resistance rating.

Need a backup in case your compatible smartphone runs out of battery? Simply connect the inReach Messenger to your phone and you'll have enough power to send a personalized text message from the inReach Messenger device using the phone's touchscreen.

The internal rechargeable lithium battery gives you up to 28 days of autonomy in 10-minute follow-up mode, so you can do what you love most for longer between recharges.

The Garmin Messenger app can be synced with the contacts on your compatible smartphone to make staying in touch even easier.

InReach Messenger's high-quality display with pixel-level memory lets you confirm messages have been sent and even read replies right on the device.

Communicate with your contacts directly from inReach Messenger using the default messages, which are not included in the calculation of the text message quota of your active subscription to satellite services.

Remotely control inReach Messenger and send and receive text messages or activate an interactive SOS from compatible Garmin handheld devices, marine equipment, aviation equipment, wearables and other smart devices.

Get detailed weather updates on inReach Messenger or a paired compatible device. You can also request the weather forecast for your current location or any other waypoint or destination on your itinerary.

In case you get lost, the TracBack routing feature takes you back to the starting point the same way, all on the device itself.
