Requesting Weather Forecasts with the Garmin Overlander

When the Overlander® GPS navigator is paired to an inReach® satellite communicator, it is able to request Basic, Premium, or Marine weather forecasts to be delivered back to the inReach device through the inReach Remote app. This article will cover how to request weather forecasts from the inReach Remote app only. Select your inReach device in Support Center and search for weather for instructions on how to request a weather forecast using the inReach device directly. For a comparison of the different available forecasts and their costs, see - Frequently Asked Questions on Weather for inReach.

IMPORTANT

Requesting Weather Forecasts is only available when the Overlander navigator is connected to an inReach device loaded with the 2.11 or later firmware version. If you do not have an option for Weather in the app, use the instructions found in Wireless Map and Software Update Instructions to update the Overlander navigator, then visit Help With Product Updates and search for your specific inReach model for steps on updating the inReach communicator.
