Syncing inReach Account Changes with the Earthmate App for Android
The Earthmate app, your inReach, and your explore.garmin.com account all work in conjunction for you to access your user data (waypoints, routes, tracks1, contacts, etc.) while you are in the field. It is important to sync your device and Earthmate app before going into the field.
- Always verify that the data you want is in the Earthmate app, and on your inReach before you set out on your adventure.
- To sync with Explore Website changes a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection is required and the compatible inReach handheld must be powered on and paired.
