Description

Map, Track, Sync and Share Your Trek From Anywhere

For adventure seekers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin Explore ecosystem offers a complete mobile navigation solution that — when paired with a compatible Garmin device¹ — lets you map, track and navigate your trek from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage.

Garmin Explore provides basic trip planning or viewing of maps you’ve preloaded on your device. Or you can use the mobile app to pair your smart device via BLUETOOTH®² technology with a compatible Garmin GPS device, so you can do and see even more.

Access Online Connectivity

Garmin Explore provides free online access to a wide range of additional capabilities. For example, you can download detailed topographic maps, color aerial imagery and other navigation aids directly to your mobile device. The maps and navigation data loaded onto your device can be used anywhere, anytime — even when you’re out beyond the reach of cellphone towers or internet connections.

Manage Your Collections, Tracks and Routes

Review and edit your waypoints, tracks, routes and activities in your library. Add them to a collection to keep all the recorded data from a certain trip together in one place. For example, if you’re taking a long trip, you can plan different waypoints, tracks and routes for each day of the trip and combine them into one collection.

Your Mobile Cloud Connection

The Garmin Explore app will send and store the waypoints, planned routes, GPS tracks and Garmin activities you've recorded in the cloud, allowing you to access and use that data on the Garmin Explore web site to plan or review your adventures. You can also sync your cloud-stored data with a compatible Garmin device. A Garmin account is needed to store your data in the cloud. Your activities (e.g., runs, walks, hikes, etc.) include data such as distance, pace, activity time, location, etc. that were recorded by your device.

More Off-grid Capability with inReach® Technology

Use Garmin Explore with your inReach enabled devices, such as the GPSMAP® 66i navigator and satellite communicator, to turn your mobile device into a true off-the-grid satellite companion. In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team. Two-way messaging and LiveTrack location tracking via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network let you stay in contact globally. The Garmin Explore app allows you to access your phone’s contact list for easier messaging and sharing when connected.

Handige app voor navigatie icm fenix 7x pro kaartgebruik. Handig routes laden etc. Verbeterpunten - berghutten ontbreken - hellingshoek weergave op kaart ontbreekt (ivm lawine gevaar)

Good with room for improvement

BikingDutchman on

- Please add better integration with Garmin Connect - Include turn by turn option as in Connect - Maps should be frequently updated, Open Street Map is much more up to date

Does not synchronise with Fenix 7.

Duane_Barry on

Trying to synchronise waypoints with the Fenix 7 makes the watch reboot and thus synchronisation fails. Uploading waypoints to the watch is the only reason I downloaded this app, so to me the app is useless.

Prima app, vooral ism met Garmin Fenix

TomPas1020 on

Ik gebruik de app om mijn hiking routes te importen of te tekenen en dan te gebruiken ism de smartwatch. Werkt prima samen, routes zijn snel getekend of geïmporteerd. Verbeterpunten zitten in de kaarten, plaatsnamen zijn soms moeilijk te vinden. Niet alle wegen bestaan nog en soms zijn er paden die wel getekend zijn maar niet bestaan. Echter dat hebben alle wandelapps (en 95% vd paden bestaat wel gewoon). Ook de hoogte informatie werkt prima. Kortom een opluchting dat ik voortaan bijna alleen nog maar op de horloge hoef te kijken voor de route en niet meer op de kaart of op de telefoon…

The best app for hiking…EVER!

A brilliant and intuitive app that is perfectly paired with my Garmin watch. It has always given me the right directions and ideal for our many hikes. Recently it helped us complete the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt…highly recommended. Thanks Garmin!

Slechte software, geen synchronisatie.

Pyreneeën on

Na software en gpsmap 66 een half jaar niet gebruikt te hebben deze weer gesynchroniseerd. Dit duurde ruim een uur, geen idee waarom dit zo lang duurde. Daarna een route in Garmin Basecamp gemaakt, geïmporteerd in Explore. De route wordt gearriveerd in een map. Onbekend waarom. Deze map is op de gpsmap 66 zichtbaar echter met een slotje er op. Vervolgens in Explore gekozen voor ‘Ga’ dit lijdt tot een niet werkende synchronisatie. Verbinding verbroken, toestel verwijderd, ook in de Bluetooth instelling. Toestel na talloze keren proberen eindelijk weer gekoppeld maar ook dan geen overdracht van een ‘spoor’. Waarom duur betaald toestel met niet werkende software en dus geen werkende gps toestel?

Nooit meer verdwalen

Weinig op aan te merken, werkt zoals het moet. Mooi dat alles op de kaart terug te vinden is ipv alleen lijstjes.

Nice
