You can only use it to send and receive custom messages. Second, you can't use it to send pre-programmed messages from the InReach. First, as others have said, it constantly drains the phone battery even when not in use. I've been using this app for 3 years, and I keep hoping they'll fix it, but no such luck. What a pathetic app from what's supposed to be a major technology company. Such loss of essential messaging facility. I emailed garmin support and they say old device no longer suported! It DOES still work with the iPhone Earthmate app. I can only receive a message if the phone/app is running all the time. When the app is run an error is displayed 'unable to save' stored message. When the inReach is on in stand-alone mode (no paired phone powered on), received messages should flash the message LED and then upon pairing (turning on) the phone/bluetooth/Earthmate app, messages should automatically be delivered into the phone. It is also faulty with another phone, different model, also Android 6.0.1. Then it worked fine on newer phone until now. Then they imposed mandatory upgrade to this app which no longer worked with my old (small waterproof) phone. InReach has been a FANTASTIC service, until garmin took it over. I am using inReach for Android and iPhone model (without the display secreen). Other then that maps look good.ġAug17 Epic Fail: Total loss of received satellite messages, read on for details. This app used more battery then everything I had running combined x2. I couldn't figure out why my phone was dead at 11am the last couple days in till I looked at the battery usage on the phone. July 2017 Let me know when you fix the battery drain. I haven't had to much time to play with new features but everything is looking good and running good. Update 8/30/17 Since the newest update a couple days ago the battery issue seems to be solved.
This application requires the use of a paired DeLorme inReach (access varies by model) or an annual subscription to Outdoor or Hunt. Hunting map data is now available through Earthmate Hunt Edition.
