The Garmin inReach Messenger Plus is a satellite communicator for staying in touch beyond cellular range. With an active inReach subscription, it sends and receives text, photo and voice messages over the 100% global Iridium satellite network.
Interactive SOS sends a message with your GPS coordinates to Garmin Response, a 24/7-staffed international coordination center. A sunlight-readable monochrome display confirms sent messages and shows replies on the device, even when a phone battery dies. The compact design is impact-resistant, IPX7 water-rated and made to operate in extreme temperatures.
Photo and voice messaging require pairing with the Garmin Messenger app on a compatible smartphone. The same app adds emojis, reactions and group chats. Paired with the Garmin Explore app, the device supports trip planning, viewing tracks on a map, saving an activity, and a course highlight showing how much farther remains to a destination.
