Garmin inReach Messenger

Home is closer than you think with the Garmin® inReach® Messenger. Small, rugged satellite communicator reaches beyond the confines of traditional cellular networks for 2-way text communication from the most off-grid environments. Get away from it all, with the knowledge essential communications can be made for emergencies and more.

Communicate from anywhere.

Using the worldwide coverage of the Iridium® satellite network, this portable device lets you exchange text messages with any cell phone number or email address from anywhere. Or use the GPS to track and share your journey’s progress.

You can also post to social media, or even communicate inReach-to-inReach while in the field. In case of an at-risk situation, you can trigger an SOS distress signal to a monitoring center, text back and forth about the nature of your emergency, and receive confirmation when help is on the way. And no worry if you're not within range of a cell tower. inReach works anywhere and everywhere—so you’re never out of range.

Smart solutions on and off the trail.

Use Iridium® satellite network functionality for tracking, messaging, weather forecasts and interactive SOS. Just select and activate it on the Garmin ExploreTM website. Turn on the tracking function and let family and friends follow your progress from a computer or mobile devices. inReach sends waypoints at preselected time intervals, so followers can track your whereabouts using the web-based MapShareTM portal.
