Overview of the Garmin Explore Website

The Garmin Explore website is used for activating service on new inReach devices, maintaining your account, and viewing your user data. It now features the ability to sync data from other Garmin devices, like the GPSMAP 66 series, when used with the Garmin Explore app.

When visiting this page for the first time, select one of the options under Create a New Account for either activating service to an inReach handheld, or connecting other Garmin devices.¹ After selecting one of these options, the website will walk you through the initial setup process.

Once the account setup is completed, you can do the following for all devices:

• View your device data on a map
• Create waypoints and routes to sync to your device
• Sync your device and mobile device
  • Earthmate for inReach
  • Explore App for other Garmin devices

For inReach devices with an active plan, these services are also available:

• Monitor monthly usage
• View your conversation history
• Add people to your contacts (including emergency contacts)
• Set up your preset and quick text messages
• Set up your social media accounts (including your MapShare web page)
• Make adjustments to your plan

For more detailed information on these, refer to the inReach Web Help manual. Additional helpful articles can be found under Related below.
