Earthmate

I like the Map View and the Message Center. I‘m missing to send Message Template. (Nachrichten Vorlagen ) also Missing Features are: Import, Export Routes to App and to Device

Don't understand how a multi billion dollar company can make such a badly programmed app. Is it because there are no alternatives to this service? You constantly have to switch from the app to the website, why don’t you implement the websites features into the app? And the sharing of your trip through a online map is a total mess. The nodes your device sets via satellite connection and the (more frequently) ones that you can send to your phone/tablet and upload once you got wifi are randomly connected so the whole thing looks like a spider web. Instead of a smooth path. They apparently fixed that problem a while ago but its back. And the link to your shared page sometimes doesn’t work. Even if you click the link in the admin console of the garmin website. I hope you guys fix those problems for a $350+ device with a $30 monthly subscription.

Please update the app for iPhone X

When I select my inReach Explorer’s ID to connect, the app just goes back a screen. I have to carry around an old Android device to be able to connect to this.

iPhone 15 pro max 2020 trd off road 4Runner factory head unit Issues: garmin has to be re-paired to app every time after a few weeks of no use. Really annoying and the pairing is brutal. CarPlay will say accessory not supported when running Earthmate and make it so the iPhone cant connect with CarPlay. Phone will disconnect and reconnect over and over again. Tried different cables and a separate iPhone without the Earthmate app and my CarPlay is perfectly fine. If isolated this to the app.

Latest version cannot use any of your PHONE CONTACTS unless the numbering format begins with “+1”. This prefix WAS NOT required prior to this update. If your contacts do not include this prefix, you will need to either ADD “+1” to all your contact numbers or manually type the number when you want to send a text vi inREACH. Some fool at Garmin did not properly test this.

Terrible app for emergencies . Connectivity is the lousiest I’ve ever seen and should be banned before somebody dies counting on this app

I really want to know how Garmin can charge so much for something that only works half the time if your lucky. What’s the point of putting out an update if you can’t update the device itself. They have so many different apps you have to download just to see where your device falls. So I’m asking garmin WHAT AM I PAYING FOR IF THE THE DEVICE DOESNT DO WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO?

Garmin Explore is a bit clunky sometimes to view and review tracks or other information you might have synced across platforms, but it does serve some purpose and function. It works well enough to use the message system when paired with an InReach. Would love to see smartwatch integration. For example, I often mount the device to my motorcycle to take advantage of the minimal info on it’s screen and give it a good clear view of the sky. I would like to have the option to send an SOS/message via Phone/InReach by a smartwatch app if it were hard to get closer to the motorcycle in an accident to access either my phone, also mounted to the mounted to the motorcycle, or InReach. There are always task specific apps that excel, but Garmin’s range of apps add function to their devices.

I spent the past hour trying to download maps and still at 0% progress. I tried turning off Wi-Fi, reinstalling the app, trying a different Wi-Fi, etc. nothing worked. Good thing I have GAIA for navigation.
