The small, rugged inReach® Messenger Plus is an SOS satellite communicator (satellite subscription required) with text, photo and voice messaging even when your adventure takes you outside of cellular cover so you can keep in touch with friends and family with global two-way messaging. It withstands extreme temperatures and the battery lasts for weeks. Pair it with a compatible smartphone and the Garmin Messenger App for group messaging and more, send an interactive SOS to the Garmin coordination centre in the case of an emergency and even recharge your phone with its rechargeable battery. The battery provides up to 25 days of life in 10-minute tracking mode.
