Requesting inReach Weather Forecasts with the Montana 700i/750i

With up-to-date software, the Montana 700i and 750i automatically provide both premium/extended forecast data and marine forecast data, if available, whenever a new forecast is requested. Weather forecasts can also be viewed within the Garmin Explore™ app.

This article covers how to request weather forecasts from the inReach® device only. For information on requesting weather using the Garmin Explore app, see Related.

Important Notes

  • A marine forecast will be included for locations on an ocean or other large body of water, if available. If you are unable to get a marine forecast, select a location further from shore.

  • For more information about Basic, Premium, and Marine weather, see - Frequently Asked Questions on Weather for inReach.

  • The Montana 700i and 750i devices have two weather options: inReach Weather and Active Weather. This article is for inReach Weather only. For information on Active Weather, see Related.


Requesting a Weather Forecast

  1. Select Home.

  2. Select iR Icon inReach.

  3. Select inReach Weather.

  4. Select New Forecast.

    OPTIONAL: By default, the device requests weather for your current location. If needed, select Location and follow the prompts to request weather for a different location.

  5. Select Get Forecast.

The handheld will then send a request for the forecast. It can take several minutes to receive the weather forecast data. Ensure you have a clear view of the sky. Once the handheld receives the forecast, you can view the forecast at any time until all the information in the forecast has expired. The forecast can also be updated at any time.

NOTE: Updating a forecast incurs data charges or additional usage charges. For more information, see - Frequently Asked Questions on Weather for inReach.
