Description

Map, Track, Sync and Share Your Trek From Anywhere For adventure seekers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin Explore ecosystem offers a complete mobile navigation solution that — when paired with a compatible Garmin device¹ — lets you map, track and navigate your trek from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage. Garmin Explore provides basic trip planning or viewing of maps you’ve preloaded on your device. Or you can use the mobile app to pair your smart device via BLUETOOTH®² technology with a compatible Garmin GPS device, so you can do and see even more. Access Online Connectivity Garmin Explore provides free online access to a wide range of additional capabilities. For example, you can download detailed topographic maps, color aerial imagery and other navigation aids directly to your mobile device. The maps and navigation data loaded onto your device can be used anywhere, anytime — even when you’re out beyond the reach of cellphone towers or internet connections. Manage Your Collections, Tracks and Routes Review and edit your waypoints, tracks, routes and activities in your library. Add them to a collection to keep all the recorded data from a certain trip together in one place. For example, if you’re taking a long trip, you can plan different waypoints, tracks and routes for each day of the trip and combine them into one collection. Your Mobile Cloud Connection The Garmin Explore app will send and store the waypoints, planned routes, GPS tracks and Garmin activities you've recorded in the cloud, allowing you to access and use that data on the Garmin Explore web site to plan or review your adventures. You can also sync your cloud-stored data with a compatible Garmin device. A Garmin account is needed to store your data in the cloud. Your activities (e.g., runs, walks, hikes, etc.) include data such as distance, pace, activity time, location, etc. that were recorded by your device. More Off-grid Capability with inReach® Technology Use Garmin Explore with your inReach enabled devices, such as the GPSMAP® 66i navigator and satellite communicator, to turn your mobile device into a true off-the-grid satellite companion. In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team. Two-way messaging and LiveTrack location tracking via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network let you stay in contact globally. The Garmin Explore app allows you to access your phone’s contact list for easier messaging and sharing when connected.

    Omg, why can’t I EVER pair with these apps?! Inreach Mini 2 NEVER pairs with these Garmin apps..I can pair direct thru my iPhone’s Bluetooth settings but never with the app. I give up!

    It works quite well. Mostly intuitive interface. Satellite imagery is quite out of date. A zoom larger than 300 feet would be nice. Track plots are slightly erratic but that’s probably the collar GPS units themselves. Overall nice system.
  • Great tool

    This app allowed me to improve each day by keeping tabs on my health. I’ve joined challenges and synced seamlessly with Strava. The ability to create gpx files on the go while out on trail is essential to adjusting your plans when needed. I use it with the Garmin InReach mini 2 and love the software and hardware. Will upgrade from my Instinct watch to something more consistent with my current level of exercise. It comes with training and exercise plans. I’ve had this for a couple years. The watches battery lasts a week or more even with active use.
  • Non sync

    The gps syncs with the app but never displays accurate or real time information regarding g tracks or waypoints. Seek other options.
  • Needs yards

    I really like the system and everything to do with it except, I do not like that on the map it shows feet and then .1 miles. I really would like for the map to show yards just like the handheld unit.
  • Substandard directions

    While I love the Garmin Epix and Connect app, Explore falls short with respect to user interface figuring out how to use it to generate routes and upload popular trails/hikes and rides when I travel. Bottom line, it should be easier.
  • Works OKAY

    Has potential to be super useful with Alpha 10. I find it lacking in quality and usability. Needs update for proper collar colors, current satellite imagery with high definition, live time direction indicator that tracks in the screen, lockout mode. I really like how I can update my handheld through the app and that it does work with the Alpha 10. There is just a lot more potential to be unlocked. If the garmin field staff used this for a couple weeks and gave recommendations these issues would be resolved.
  • Very Gooooooooooood…!
