Creating Waypoints in the Earthmate App

The Earthmate® app can be used to create waypoints for use in the app, at explore.garmin.com, or on a compatible inReach® device. Waypoints created in the Earthmate app are automatically synced to a compatible inReach device when paired. Additionally, waypoints will sync from the Earthmate app to your inReach account when the app has an internet connection, and is synced. Use the instructions below to create waypoints in the app.

IMPORTANT: If an inReach device is not connected or does not have a strong GPS signal while connected, you may need to enable location services on your phone. Waypoints created in the Earthmate app will not display on the inReach SE®.
