The Garmin InReach Explorer (formerly Delorme InReach) is a must-have in your pack. Outside of owning a sat phone, it’s the only way to have two-way communications with friends, family, and emergency services outside of cell service. It’s navigation features have some flaws but don’t get it for that; it’s worth the cost just for the messaging and weather features. For a few hundred bucks, the Garmin InReach could save your life. It’s a no-brainer.

Does it have to have a clear view of the sky to work?
excellent review. Thank U!
Thank you very much. Your video is ‘to the point’ and very helpful. Cannot thank you enough.
I didn’t see s screen that shows your current GPS coordinates? is this feature available?
Excellent….one of the best! Thank you.
For those interested here’s a chance to save some bucks. REI will be selling the Garmin InReach Explorer Plus for $375 (reg. price $450) at this year’s Anniversary Sale (May 18-28, 2018).
Thanks for the video. I just started hiking. I did my 1st camping at night in the GSMNP and planning on a 3-4 day. Going to continue to do my research but I agree, it’s a good tool to have. Liked and subscribed
Thank you for a excellent review! keep up the good work!
If your hands are injured, this is not the tool for you…..
I use this unit in North Western Quebec. As a nature photographer I spend my a lot of my time well out of cell range. This unit is a necessity. Recommend this unit highly! Thanks for the excellent review.
Just started watching this. Really good first impression. Presenter is good and clear.
Awesome overview! Just got myself one, first outing this weekend!
Is it a one off payment or monthly plan required to use the features ?
Great review ! Thanks !
thank you for getting to the point and no unnecessary long intro
Can you use the Garmin 24k west micro sd card in any of the inreach GPS devices?
thanks for you video. I was wondering which Gps do you use to navigate thanks.
The point of having a 2 in 1 device is so you can have both Inreach and a GPS. However, the GPS does not impress me. Sad to say, but for the price the GPS should work just a good as say the Oregon GPS. But the maps did not even show the trails that we were hiking on. Its not a 2 in 1 its more like a 1, 1/2 in 1 lol.
Great review – much appreciated. Always good to have another persons perspective on this great unit. ( I recently purchased the Explorer+)
Great review. I believe the price difference you mentioned at the time of this video was $50 – which drove the recommendation for Explorer. The SE is now $285 on amazon vs Explorer model at $399. If i intend to use the Garmin device as you do – have the tables turned in your opinion (SE a better option)?
Do they have a way to shut-off those super loud beeps and do vibrate? Or super quiet beeps? For hunting those beeps would suck.
Hi I’m looking to get one for my hunter trip would this be a good idea
Thanks for this ready to ditch my spot device since they up the subscription 8 bucks a months. I like the all in one device thanks for the review.
Just the video I needed to teach me how to use this device. Thank you!
