Map Coverage for inReach Explorer+

The inReach Explorer®+ devices, sold in various regions around the world, offer different versions of preloaded mapping. Refer to the information below to see coverage areas and details about the specific preloaded mapping products as well as downloadable mapping.

NOTE: For information on downloading mapping to the inReach Explorer+, see - Adding and Removing Maps from an inReach Explorer+.

Mapping Products Offered

Although the preloaded mapping on these devices will only cover certain regions according to the unit's part number, all inReach Explorer+ devices are able to download additional mapping once they have been activated to an explore.garmin.com account. For instructions on downloading additional mapping, see Related at the bottom of the FAQ. Details about each mapping product that is either preloaded or available for download can be found below.

Topo North America

A high detailed topographic dataset with features such as contours with elevation, geographic locations, place names, landmarks, points of interest, hydrographic features, and land-use/land-cover detail. Map detail is consistent and coverage in rural areas is unparalleled. Scale detail is equivalent to 1:24,000 data, similar to what is seen on a USGS Topo Quad.

OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a community developed mapping dataset, developed, maintained and added to by community mappers around the world. In densely populated areas of the world OSM is a highly detailed dataset. In many rural areas of the world OSM has medium to low detailed data. Features are added and edited by community members with local knowledge. Coverage of features may vary and include geographic locations, place names, landmarks, points of interest, hydrographic features, and land-use/land cover. OSM is an open data source. An open data source elevation dataset is also included. Because the OpenStreetMap data is Volunteered Geographic Information, scale detail is not consistent. Scale detail can vary from 1:24,000 or better in major urban areas to 1:1 million in more rural areas.

Digital Atlas of the Earth

The Digital Atlas of the Earth (DAE) is a medium detailed complete, seamless global dataset, and includes all the world’s continents and countries, providing a consistent level of detail and reliable horizontal accuracy for features worldwide. The DAE includes major transportation layers, inland and shoreline hydrography, agreed and disputed jurisdiction boundaries, place names, major topographic features including contours with elevation, and land-use or land-cover detail. This data is topological, routable, and GPS navigable. Also available for the United States, Canada, and Mexico for medium detailed data and/or if available memory is a concern. Scale detail is equivalent to data seen on a 1:125,000 map. Worldwide coverage.
