Description
Pair your inReach® satellite communication device with the Earthmate® app to get all the features you need to send and receive text messages, navigate and stay connected during your outdoor adventures. It’s perfect for planning, tracking and sharing your trip anywhere around the globe.
This Garmin application lets you access*:
• Unlimited topographic maps that you can cache on your device and store for offline use, including topographic maps and quad sheets
• Aerial imagery
• Hybrid maps
• Waypoints and route navigation
• Tracking and location sharing
• High-detail GPS trip logging
• Unlimited cloud storage of routes, waypoints and tracks
• Online trip planning
• Control and access all the features of your inReach device from the app: send 2-way custom or preset text and email messages, trigger an SOS from anywhere in the world, track your location and more
By pairing your mobile device (via Bluetooth® technology) with inReach, the Earthmate app turns your mobile device into a true satellite communication, GPS navigation and safety tool. To access the 100% global Iridium® satellite network for live tracking and messaging – including SOS capabilities – from the Earthmate app, an inReach device with active satellite subscription is required.
You can plan your adventures from your account on the Garmin Explore™ website, wirelessly sync them to your smartphone or tablet, and then save all your trip data and maps with unlimited cloud storage.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Don't forget to stop tracking.

Bug fixes and improvements
Ratings and Reviews
Fundamental syncing issues
Between issues with being able to login at all for extended periods, there’s major issues with this app’s ability to actually mirror the InReach website.
Tracking points and whole tracks fail to synchronise rendering the app really only useful for messaging.
Also, the newly added dark mode support actively obscures a significant amount of text within the app when enabled.
Marine weather has basic flaws
Marine weather has basic flaws. If you select 4am, it highlites the wrong day. It does not highlife the night as it should, it highlites that day. It is ok if you realise it is a fault in the display but it is a bit disappointing.
Also, the current is totally wrong. For instance it may show a current of 17 knots. I’m not sure where the information is coming from but it looks like a decimal point is missing.
Looses all settings when it is closed on iPhone
Loses units, login, everything else every time I close the application.
This is a total disaster. I’m still paired with the device, but have to log in again every time I use it. This is a hazard.
If I go back and forth between my password manager while copying the email address and password, it loses the fields when I come back from my password manager.
Useless!!!
All my software is up-to-date. Happens with no other applications.
