Providing interactive SOS and two-way
communication with GEOS, inReach is the world leader in emergency monitoring
and response with experts standing by 24/7/365 to respond.
inReach provides a level of service not
offered by one-way devices such as Globalstar SPOT, PLBs and EPIRBs.
When GEOS receives your SOS, they’ll track
your device, notify the proper contacts and emergency responders in your
area and continue to text back and forth with you, providing updates until
your situation is resolved.
For every SOS alert sent, you’ll get a
confirmation that your message was received and that rescuers have been
notified. How’s that for peace of mind?
Interactive SOS also means that you can cancel
an SOS if needed. The SOS button on inReach devices is safely locked to
prevent false alarms, but if you press it by mistake or if your emergency
gets resolved, you can let GEOS know and they will cancel the emergency on
your behalf.
Peace of Mind
Know with certainty that assistance is on the
way - instead of just pushing a button and waiting, and hoping someone got
your distress call.
Send specific information about your emergency
to help ensure the correct personnel and equipment arrive.
Receive important information such as arrival
time or potentially life saving actions to take while waiting for help to
arrive.
Provide your family and friends with
additional peace of mind by communicating with them during an emergency.
Explore + Communicate Globally
Always stay in touch with an inReach capable
Garmin GPSr and an active subscription plan.
Send and receive messages, navigate your
route, track and share your journey and, if necessary, trigger an SOS to get
help from a 24/7 global emergency response coordination center via the 100%
global Iridium satellite network.
GPS Navigation
All inReach enabled Garmin products offer GPS
navigation, tracking and more.
Many Garmin devices even include preloaded
Garmin TOPO mapping and direct-to-device Birdseye Satellite Imagery
downloads.
Tracking
Devices equipped with inReach technology can
send track points at preselected time intervals, so you can choose to share
your adventures.
Using your web-based MapShare trip-sharing
page, followers can see your progress, ping your device to see your GPS
location and exchange messages during your trip.
Weather
Receive weather forecasts directly on your
inReach enabled device, so you can make educated decisions based on local
conditions or the destination ahead.
Choose from 3 forecasts on your inReach
device: Basic, Premium and Premium Marine.
When using premium handhelds, you can use the
device’s weather functions, such as animated radar and rain alerts, without
tapping into your satellite subscription.
Interactive SOS
In the case of an emergency, you can trigger
an interactive SOS message to GEOS, a professional 24/7 global emergency
monitoring and response coordination center.
Their trained staff is available to respond to
your messages, track your device and notify emergency responders in your
area, giving you the peace of mind that help is on the way.
GEOS will stay in touch with you and your
emergency contacts until your situation is resolved.
Garmin Explore
The Garmin Explore website allows you to plan
your trip and view maps you’ve previously stored on your device.
When you’re on an adventure beyond the reach
of cell towers or internet connections, the Garmin Explore app lets you pair
your smartphone or tablet with a compatible Garmin GPSr to do and see even
more.
You can view your current location, plan
routes, set and manage waypoints, and more.
When paired with compatible Garmin devices,
you can even use the app for two-way messaging, tracking and SOS
capabilities over the 100% global Iridium network.
