Editing Check-In Contacts in the Earthmate App

Check-in messages are a convenient way to send messages to specific group of friends and family. There are three check-in messages to choose from:

• I'm checking in, everything is okay.

• I'm starting my trip.

• I'm ending my trip.

You can customize the recipient list of your check-in messages, but you cannot customize what the check-in messages say. Check-in messages will include your location if available.

Editing Your Check-in Contacts

NOTE: To edit your check-in contacts, your phone must have Wi-Fi or mobile data available so the changes can be saved to your online account. It is best to edit check-in contacts before leaving on a trip. If your inReach® account was created prior to September 27th, 2022, you may instead see Presets. For details on editing Presets, see - Editing inReach Preset Messages on the Garmin Explore Website.
