Description

Stay in touch with friends and family. Enjoy the security and connectivity of global messaging with the Garmin Messenger™ app. Pair with your compatible inReach® satellite communicator for fast, easy direct messaging and interactive SOS that’s not limited to cellphone coverage areas (active satellite subscription required). The app supports group messaging as well as photo and voice messaging when paired with a compatible Garmin device (1). Automatic switching between internet, cellular, and satellite networks gives you the best connectivity and efficiency for all your messaging. When you have connectivity, the app will work seamlessly even if your inReach device is turned off. Invite your friends and family to download the app to stay connected and keep the conversation going on and off the trail. With the use of the LiveTrack™ feature, loved ones can follow your location in real time (2) and see data such as distance, time and elevation.

  • useless for me personally

    Paid for the device which is $$$$ then you have to buy a subscription to even use device. Could not get it to even connect to my phone and when it does my messages still won’t send. Maybe it’s user error, but I tested it out before I left for my trip and it worked fine but after that I cant get it to work.

    Garmin 67i is a great piece of hardware but the software sucks, it should not be so difficult to use in this day and age. They need competition.
  • GARBAGE APP

    By Slotswhisperererer
    Most people use this service for a situation where having mobile phone service is limited which means emergencies and life endangering situations need prompt messaging capabilities. There is a major bug right now preventing use of the messenger app to your contacts. Your only option is to message directly from the device essentially rendering this app worthless. Garmin has sent out zero communication about this to users and as usual getting any customer support is dismal. I had to go find a cellular service area to try to troubleshoot this issue. Unacceptable. Hopefully someone’s life isn’t put in danger because of Garmin’s lack of accountability for resolving this MAJOR outage. Starlink, although a little more expensive, as well as iOS satellite messaging seems to be good enough to justify canceling this service. I do not recommend you keeping your service with Garmin. Your life could depend on it.
