Garmin inReach Messenger

Why We Like The Garmin inReach Messenger

We venture far beyond the reaches of cell service with Garmin´s inReach Messenger offering us seamless connection with family and friends to give them peace of mind while we´re out clearing our own. We preset messages and check-in times, so we can spend more time exploring and less time staring at a screen. This little device does more than text, it gives us weather updates and TracBack routing to keep us prepared and on course.
