Garmin Explore
The Garmin Explore website and app allow you to create courses, waypoints, and collections, plan trips, and use
cloud storage. They offer advanced planning both online and offline, allowing you to share and sync data with
your compatible Garmin device. You can use the app to download maps for offline access, and then navigate
anywhere without using your cellular service.
You can download the Garmin Explore app from the app store on your phone, or you can go to
explore.garmin

Garmin Messenger App
WARNING
Before you can use certain inReach features of the Garmin Messenger app, including SOS, tracking, and inReach
Weather, you must have an active satellite subscription and a connected inReach device. Always test the app
before you use it outdoors.
With an inReach subscription and a connected inReach device, you can use the Garmin Messenger app for
tracking, SOS, inReach Weather, and managing your service plan. You can also use the app to message other
inReach device users, as well as friends and family. The app works over both the Iridium satellite network
and the internet (using a wireless connection or cellular data on your phone). Messages sent using a wireless
connection or cellular data on your phone do not incur data charges or additional charges on your inReach
subscription. Messages received may incur charges if message delivery is attempted over both the Iridium
satellite network and the internet. Standard text messaging rates for your cellular data plan apply.
Without an inReach subscription, the app also provides a messaging experience for friends and family. Anyone
can download the app and connect their phone, allowing them to communicate with other app users over
the internet (no login is required). App users can also create group messaging threads with other SMS phone
numbers. New members added to the group message can download the app to see what others are saying.
Syncing inReach Data
After you make changes to your data, such as plan changes, contacts, or check-in messages, you must sync
your device using the app.
1 Open the paired Garmin Messenger or Garmin Explore app.
2 Wait while your data syncs.
TIP: You can check the connection status on the Device tab in the app.
Contact Tracking
You can track other hunters so you know where they are at all times. You can also send messages to your
contacts. One Alpha handheld device can track up to 20 devices, including compatible dog collar devices and
handheld devices.
