Garmin inReach Messenger

Details

This small, rugged satellite communicator keeps friends and family in reach with global two-way messaging when you're outside of cell coverage. Use it to check in with contacts, read and reply to their responses with QuickText messages and even share your GPS location data if you like. More detailed texting and group messaging is easy by using the Garmin Messenger™ app. Seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi® wireless networking, cellular and satellite networks - giving you the best connectivity and cost-efficiency for all your communications.

• NEW Compact, Rugged Design: Don't let the 4" x 2" size and the 4 oz. weight fool you. The inReach® Messenger is tough, durable, impact-resistance and water-rated to IPX7.
• NEW Garmin Messenger™ App: Send two-way messages globally, even when you're out of cellular coverage. The app supports seamless switching between Wi-Fi® wireless networking links, broadband cellular and the Iridium® satellite network.
• NEW Group Messaging: With the Garmin Messenger™ app, your inReach connection supports group message threading and distribution. So, you can share your adventures with multiple contacts simultaneously - and have group text chats with friends and family.
• NEW Safety Charging: Need a backup option in case your compatible smartphone battery dies? Just connect the inReach Messenger to your phone for enough safety charge to send a custom text message from the inReach Messenger device via your phone's touchscreen.
• IMPROVED Two-Way Messaging: A simple user interface through the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone makes it easy to exchange text messages with loved ones via satellite, cellular, or Wi-Fi® wireless networks.
• Check-In Messages: Check in with contacts directly from the inReach Messenger by using preset messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages with an active satellite subscription.
• Interactive SOS Alerts: In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7 staffed emergency response coordination center.
• Battery Life:
  10-minute Tracking Send Interval = up to 4 weeks with full sky view / up to 2 weeks with moderate tree cover.
  2-minute Tracking Send Interval = up to 6 days with full sky view / up to 3 days with moderate tree cover.
