Share photos² of your adventures when you pair the device with your compatible smartphone using the Garmin Messenger app. You can also view received photos² right on your device’s color display.
SOS Messaging
Explore with peace of mind knowing you can send an interactive SOS message¹ with your GPS coordinates to Garmin Response, our 24/7-staffed international coordination center, for help in an emergency. And, instead of relying on tower-based cellphone coverage, your messages are sent via the global Iridium satellite network.
LiveTrack™ Sharing
With an active inReach satellite subscription, you can easily let friends or family follow your location while you’re on the move; no need to point your device directly toward the sky to find satellites. They can see your progress, including distance, time and elevation.
