The Garmin inReach Messenger Satallite Communicator offers a way to communicate with your friends and family when you don’t have a reliable signal. This communicator connects to your phone and allows for two-way messaging through the Garmin Messenger app on your phone which makes it easy to exchange texts. It seamlessly transitions from a cellular connection to the 100% global Iridium satellite network when you go outside of your covered cellular range. 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. In case of an emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response, a 24/7 staffed emergency response coordination center. Share your location with loved ones back home anytime by using you MapShare page or with your GPS coordinates embedded in your messages. Also don’t let the 3.1″ x 2.5″ size and 4oz. weight fool you. inReach Messenger is tough, durable, impact resistant and water rated to IPX7. The Garmin Messenger app can also sync with your compatible smartphone’s contacts list to make staying in touch even easier. The inReach Messenger devices’s high end memory-in-pixel screen gives you the ability to confirm that messages have been sent, and you can even read responses right off the display. Check in with contacts directly from the inReach Messenger by using check-in messages that do not count towards your allotted text messages with an active satellite subscription.
