Requesting Weather Forecasts With the GPSMAP 66i/67i/86i/86sci

With up-to-date software, the GPSMAP® 66i, 67i, 86i, and 86sci devices automatically provides both premium/extended forecast data and marine forecast data, if available, whenever a new weather forecast is requested. This article will cover how to request weather forecasts from the inReach® device only. For information on requesting weather using the Garmin Messenger™ app or Garmin Explore™ app, see Related.

Important Notes

Updating a forecast may incur data charges or additional usage charges.
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.
The GPSMAP 66i/67i/86i/86sci devices have two weather options: inReach Weather and Active Weather. This article is for inReach Weather only. For information on Active Weather, see - Differences Between inReach Weather and Active Weather.

Requesting a Weather Forecast

Press MENU twice to access the main menu.
Select inReach Weather.
Select New Forecast.
OPTIONAL: By default, the device requests weather for your current location. Select Location and follow the prompts to request weather for a different location if needed.
Select Get Forecast.

The handheld will then send a request for the forecast. It can take several minutes to receive the weather forecast data. Ensure you have a clear view of the sky. Once the handheld receives the forecast, you can view the forecast at any time until all the information in the forecast has expired. The forecast can also be updated at any time.
