When navigating to a Waypoint, the Navigating icon appears next to the Waypoint label. It shows a green
starting point, red finishing point, and orange connecting line.
When you are creating a new Waypoint, it will appear in the Waypoints list and it will be sent to the Explore
website. When the Waypoint is being sent, a Sending animation appears next to its label.
Familiarize Yourself with Functionality
Viewing Your Contacts
Store your contacts on your InReach. Go to the Contacts page and add email addresses and SMS text numbers
for each contact manually. If you have a contact who owns an inReach, add their inReach address as well.
Tip: Add your Contacts on the Explore website and sync your InReach to push those contacts to your
device.
When you send a message to an SMS number, that person can reply directly to your message from a mobile
device. When you send a message to an email, the recipient must reply using the Explore website link in the
email. Both options display a map of your location to the recipient.
Emails and SMS numbers are automatically added to your Contacts page when you send or receive messages.
Add contact names and other details manually.
Sending Messages
Send and receive text messages when out of cell phone range with inReach. Select Messages from the inReach
Home page and choose New Message. Type a recipient’s email address or SMS phone number. You can also
select recipients from your Contacts list. Type your message or choose from your list of Quick Text Messages.
Tip: Review the Shortcuts and Keyboard Features section of this manual to learn more about typing
messages.
Press Send to deliver your message. A spinning Sending icon will appear. It will change to a Sent icon when the
message has been delivered.
If the message is not delivered after 15 minutes, your device may not have a clear view of the sky. Your device
asks you if you would like to continue sending or to stop and send later. If you choose Stop, you can resend
the message when you have a clear view of the sky by going to the message thread, selecting the message,
pressing ENTER to view details, and then pressing Send.
Sending Preset and Quick Text Messages
During the inReach setup, you created Preset and Quick Text Messages on the Explore account. These
messages are loaded onto your device when you sync it with the Explore site. Use them to communicate
quickly with family and friends.
A Preset Message is a message you created ahead of time that is sent to a list of people you specified
when creating the message. Send a Preset Message by going to Messages>Preset Messages. Select the
message and press Send.
A Quick Text Message is a message you know you’ll use often when replying to or sending messages,
and you don’t want to type it each time. Send a Quick Text Message by going to Messages>Quick Text
Message. Select the message, select the recipients, and press Send.
Checking Messages
By default the inReach Explorer listens for waiting messages once every 20 minutes and downloads them.
Every time a Message or Track Point is sent, waiting messages are also downloaded. (For example, if your
inReach is set to send track points every 10 minutes, the device is also checking for waiting messages every 10
