• Garmin has just launched the brand new inReach Messenger Plus, a satellite-connected device designed to keep users connected in places with no cell service.
• This is the first inReach device that allows for sending text messages along with both photo and audio messages.
• It also has the tracking and mapping capabilities of the original inReach Messenger.

When you’re going out on an adventure in the wilderness, staying connected with the outside world can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. Garmin’s satellite-connected devices in the inReach family are designed to keep you safe and, most importantly, keep your loved ones at ease while you are out in the wild. Now, the inReach family has a new member: the Garmin inReach Messenger Plus.

As its name suggests, the inReach Messenger Plus is an upgraded version of the inReach Messenger (), which launched in 2022. Both devices connect to the Iridium satellite network, allowing you to communicate with the world anywhere in which you have a direct view of the sky. The 2022 Messenger, though, could only send text messages. The Messenger Plus is the first device in the inReach family that supports both photo and audio messages, too.
