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.

Reviews of Earthmate

  • Functional enough for emergencies and redundancy

    Garmin Explore is a bit clunky sometimes to view and review tracks or other information you might have synced across platforms, but it does serve some purpose and function. It works well enough to use the message system when paired with an InReach. Would love to see smartwatch integration. For example, I often mount the device to my motorcycle to take advantage of the minimal info on it’s screen and give it a good clear view of the sky. I would like to have the option to send an SOS/message via Phone/InReach by a smartwatch app if it were hard to get closer to the motorcycle in an accident to access either my phone, also mounted to the mounted to the motorcycle, or InReach. There are always task specific apps that excel, but Garmin’s range of apps add function to their devices.
  • Not Happy

    I am going to join the ranks of the disgruntled here. The InReach Mini seems to be a fine piece of hardware. But so far the App and the Explore Garmin Website stink.
    Its a clunky arrangement to have to use the web based Explore Garmin site to configure messaging in the App and device.
    But the biggest gripe so far is I cannot log into my Garmin account and the reset password option is not working. Tried two different browsers. Something is really messed up.
    Just got the InReach. Hope to use it on a trip tomorrow. But can’t fully set it up.
    If it does not fix , I will probably be returning it.
    More later.
    Garmin could do so much better
  • Needs a watch app

    This would be even better if I could could text from my Apple Watch when I leave my phone behind.
