Requesting Weather Forecasts With the Earthmate App
When the Earthmate® app is connected to an inReach® satellite communicator with an active subscription, it is able to request weather forecasts to be delivered back to the inReach device and app. Weather forecasts requested through the Earthmate app will automatically include both premium/extended forecast data and marine forecast data, if available, whenever a new forecast is requested.
This article will cover how to request weather forecasts from the Earthmate app only. See Related at the bottom of the page for instructions on how to request a weather forecast from the inReach device directly.
Important Notes
inReach devices that are compatible with the Earthmate app may have separate options for Basic, Premium/Extended, or Marine weather forecasts when requesting a forecast from the device rather than the app. Basic weather forecasts previously counted as one text message each, and there were additional fees for extended and marine weather forecasts. All types of inReach weather forecasts now count as one text message each towards your monthly plan allotment. For a comparison of the different available forecasts and their costs, see - Frequently Asked Questions on Weather for inReach.
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. If no marine forecast is available, you may see a Marine Forecast Failed message on your connected inReach device.
Requesting weather forecasts is only available when the Earthmate app is connected to an inReach device loaded with 2.11 or later firmware version. If you do not have an option for Weather in the app, see Updating inReach Firmware and Syncing Account Changes with inReach Sync for instructions on updating your device with the latest firmware release.
