Trailblazing satellite communicator brings home prestigious honor ahead of CES 2025, the world's most influential consumer technology event
A technological evolution, the inReach Messenger Plus is Garmin's first satellite communicator with photo and voice messaging in addition to global two-way texting, location sharing and SOS capabilities1. A valuable tool for anyone who ventures beyond cell service – by land, sea or air – the inReach Messenger Plus offers a more personal and emotional way to communicate with friends and family, along with user-friendly navigation and a way to seek help in case of emergency.
"We are honored to receive a Best of Innovation award from CES, the highest distinction given in their awards program. The inReach Messenger Plus is more than just a breakthrough in technology – it's designed to keep you connected with friends and family and can provide added peace of mind in a worst-case scenario. This award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, challenging conventions and relentlessly pursuing innovation to deliver products that are essential part of our customers' lives." –Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President, Global Consumer Marketing
With a battery life that can last for weeks, the inReach Messenger Plus provides seamless and reliable satellite communication either as a standalone device or when paired to the Garmin Messenger™ mobile app on a compatible Android or iOS smartphone so users can exchange group texts, photo and voice messages and share their location with friends and family.
After testing the inReach Messenger Plus's capabilities in the West Elk Mountains of
"The ability to send voice memos and photos is huge, not only for the social aspect, but for first responders, who need all the detail they can get when rescuing lost or injured recreationists. And, depending on the injury, typing out a message might not be possible. For those who will put the Messenger Plus's speed, photo and voice features to regular use – or who want an extra level of emergency communication capability – you won't find a better satellite messenger on the market."
In the event of an emergency, the inReach Messenger Plus and Garmin Messenger app can send an interactive SOS text message to Garmin Response℠, a 24/7-staffed international emergency assistance coordination center. Photo and voice messages can also be shared during an SOS, giving response coordinators the ability to see and hear details of the emergency firsthand. Trusted by hundreds of thousands of users globally for communication and peace of mind, Garmin inReach satellite technology has contributed to more than 15,000 SOS activations being responded to, resulting in lives being saved.
"Having a way to call out during an emergency on an adventure is super important. We hope to never have to use it for an emergency, but we recently started carrying the inReach Messenger Plus just in case. We love it because not only can it send out for help in an emergency, but you can pair it with your phone to send your contacts status updates like whether you'll be back later than expected, and you can send them photo and voice messages, too." –Garmin Ambassadors Gwyn and Ami Manser
