Quick Text messages are helpful to save time not having to type out commonly-used phrases and replies. These messages must be updated on the Garmin Explore™ website, in the Garmin Messenger™ app, or in the Earthmate® app before heading out on a trip and cannot be edited on the inReach® device itself.
Use the instructions below for the website or a compatible app to add, edit, or delete Quick Text messages from an inReach account.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to log into the account the inReach device is assigned to. After making changes within a Garmin Explore™ website account, make sure to sync the device and app so they reflect the changes. See Related for instructional links on how to sync.
