The inReach Messenger Plus is the first Garmin satellite communicator that sends text, photo and voice messages from anywhere off the grid. Built on the 100% global Iridium network with up to 600 hours of battery life, it keeps you in contact when cell towers can't.
Prefer messaging without photo and voice? See the Garmin inReach® Handheld Messenger GPS — the more affordable version.
Built For The Backcountry
On-Device Confirmation
The sunlight-readable monochrome display confirms every message sent, every SOS triggered, and every location pinged — even when your phone battery is dead. The built-in antenna locks onto satellites automatically; no aiming required.
What Sets It Apart
Pocket-Sized Lifeline
At just 4.1 ounces and the size of a deck of cards, the Messenger Plus disappears into a pack lid or chest pocket. The rugged build is IPX7 water-rated and engineered to operate in extreme temperatures — exactly when you need it most.
Move Up When You're Ready
When you want full handheld GPS navigation with topo maps plus inReach satellite communication in a single device.
The ultra-compact carry-anywhere option for thru-hikers and ounce-counters who want satcom in the lightest possible package.
