For even more capability and convenience, the free Earthmate app syncs your inReach handheld via Bluetooth® with your compatible Apple® or Android™ device so you can access unlimited maps and aerial imagery. Plus, Earthmate allows you to conveniently use all of the inReach features on your paired mobile device. For easier messaging, you can also sync your inReach device with your phone’s contact list to reach anyone, anywhere.

Basic, premium and marine weather packages are offered. You can request weather forecasts for your current location or any other waypoint or destination on your itinerary.
The Garmin inReach Explorer+ offers all of the above messaging and emergency messaging capabilities alongside a fully functional GPS navigator. You can make use of basic grid navigation, drop waypoints, mark key locations, track your progress, and follow a breadcrumb trail back to base as well as providing comprehensive navigation and tracking using full-fledged GPS with preloaded TOPO mapping and waypoint routings viewable directly on the unit. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can help to monitor the air pressure, while the digital compass keeps you bearing.
To access the Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Explorer+ device, an active satellite subscription is required. Depending on your usage level, you can opt for an annual contract package or flexible month-to-month airtime plan.
