What is Earthmate?
The Earthmate app by Garmin is designed to pair with the inReach satellite communication device to provide users with a comprehensive set of features for outdoor adventures. The app allows users to send and receive text messages, navigate, and stay connected with others while exploring the great outdoors. With access to unlimited topographic maps, aerial imagery, and hybrid maps, users can plan, track, and share their trips from anywhere in the world.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. It’s perfect for planning, tracking and sharing your trip anywhere around the globe.
6. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
7. Don't forget to stop tracking.
