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. 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. Note: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used. See compatible devices here: garmin.com/p/893837#devices

  • Beware

    This app requires a subscription, which is fine. I canceled my subscription and received a confirmation. The very next day they sent an invoice for the remaining balance, which is to be expected. But they only sent that one invoice. And then sent the $46 to collections. I must have forgotten to pay the remaining balance but any other company would have sent another payment reminder. So beware as Garmin is pretty ruthless when it comes to a balance due.

    Weather forecast locked up halfway through our trip, leaving us without important weather forecasts. Messages are often fractured and incomplete.

    The app doesn’t work in Kuwait! I’m unable to receive the verification code. I contacted the Garmin reseller in Kuwait, and they informed me that the service hasn’t been working in the country for the past six months

    This app starts message threads between you and everyone in your contacts who is on garmin messenger and without your permission or consent. I’m sure my contact is listed in everyone else’s app as well. Users are forced to manually delete hundreds of messages they never intended to create.
  • POOR PRODUCT SUPPORT

    CAN’T CONNECT MY INREACH TO THIS APP. SO OTHER THAN THE SOS FEATURE OF THE INREACH, THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS USELESS. I CERTAINLY WISH I HADN’T SPENT ALL THE MONEY GARMIN DEVICES.

    I am now convinced not to use this device for rescue. Certainly not bulletproof.
  • Excellent App!

    I love the app, and the ability to be able to respond and receive messages on my watch. I would like to see the ability to delete text threads on the watch in a future update. Also, a swipe keyboard to make typing faster on my watch.
