Setting up LiveTrack for inReach Devices in the Garmin Explore app

A core feature of inReach® satellite communicators is the option of allowing others to follow your trip progress. The following article explains how to do this via a LiveTrack™ page, which is the default method for new inReach subscribers to share their trip progress. Alternatively, if you have enabled a MapShare™ page for your inReach device, or would like to learn more about MapShare, see - Setting up MapShare in the Garmin Explore App.  

Use the instructions in this article to enable and configure LiveTrack when using the Garmin Explore™ app with a compatible inReach satellite communicator.
