## Overview

The Garmin inReach Explorer+ is a rugged handheld satellite communicator featuring global satellite texting (subscription required), a 24/7 SOS monitoring service, and preloaded topographical maps. Designed for outdoor professionals and adventurers, it offers quick location sharing, an intuitive touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, and reliable battery life to keep you connected and safe in the most remote environments.

## Description

Satellite texting (with subscription) send SOS to 24/7 monitoring center track and share your location preloaded delorme topo map.

Review: Must have, for the SOS feature alone. - These are great. Complicated, but great.
Review: Great (but outdated) device, usable with gloves/in the rain. Maps are outdated. - Great (albeit older) device, useful service, but outdated maps. I have an Explorer+ and really like the device itself: it’s a convenient size (a bit larger and heavier than an eTrex), has a simple interface, and handy button-based controls that are easy to use with gloves or if the screen is wet. Newer devices like the Messenger or Mini are much more difficult to use standalone (that is, without a smartphone). With a new aftermarket battery, battery life is like 4-5 days. The device continues to be supported by Garmin’s Iridium-based inReach service. Their Earthmate app still gets updates and works well when connecting to the Explorer+. You can send/receive messages using the smartphone app or the device itself. Some minor cons: - Uses MicroUSB, not USB-C. - Requires being connected to a computer and using the inReach Sync program on the computer whenever updating service plans or other major things. Newer models can sync using only a smartphone, which is more convenient. A major con is that Garmin no longer supports the DeLorme-based topographical maps for this device. The most recent update to the maps is several years old. I wouldn’t rely on this as my sole means of navigation (a map, compass, and dedicated device like an eTrex with updated maps are great), especially with outdated maps, but for glove/rain-friendly communication and emergency use, it’s great. Keep in mind that used versions of this device are widely available on various marketplaces and batteries can be replaced cheaply and easily at home. Get one of those if you’re interested. There’s no sense paying extremely high retail prices for an outdated device when there’s newer and more capable inReach devices being sold by Garmin for much less.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this unit have walkie talkie capability?**
A: No, but you can message someone with a similar unit

**Q: is there a rescue cost if you have to use the SOS button and rescue personell is dispatched? Thinking if kids push the button**
A: It depends on the area, some SAR’s charge a fee and I think they should. Many are comprised of volunteers who leave their place of employment and families to come help. It costs money to mount a rescue and get out the door.  It doesn’t cost less because it’s an “accidental trip” of your device.

**Q: Is this gps new？**
A: The product has been out a few years.

**Q: What does this come with, i.e., charger cord and plug, manual, etc.?**
A: If ordered from us it comes with the original manufacturer's packaging and everything normally included.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast satellite capture and excellent battery life
*by B***. on July 25, 2020*

I just took my new Explorer+ to the bottom of Grand Canyon(and back). I was impressed with how quickly the unit captured 3D satellite tracking. It seemed like less than a minute although I didn’t time it. Garmin has done a good job with the User interface with a simple and intuitive control pad and function interface from the Home menu. Battery life was excellent and could have been even better with improved battery management practices. I especially liked the Quick Reply and Shared Tracking functions, allowing quick communications using standard pre-written texts and allowing my daughter to track me on her iPhone during my entire trek, something she enjoyed doing. I would highly recommend the Explorer+
