InReach Explorer
We love our InReach Explorer we live off grid and have used it for a few years now to communicate with friends and family. It also gives our family a way to see where we are and know that we are okay, especially in the winter when we don’t go to town. It took a little getting used but not a big deal

I love it
I use this app almost ten months out of the year, out in the middle of the pacific. I love how easy it is to use with my iPad and iPhone for texting family back home from my Garmin Explorer+. It’s so easy to stay in contact with my loved ones now. Only wish it was easier to sync contacts. Other than that, I love it.

Excellent App - Read description & instructions
App without the related inReach device is very good with internet access. When used with the inReach device, the app is fantastic, very helpful for navigation PLUS ability to text with contacts.
