I can’t send the position when I send a message with the app. But if I use the Inreach itself I can.

This app works well, would be 5 star with CarPlay support. The ability to have offline maps is a huge+, without car play this app is 3 star.

Version 2.9.0
Ive had this app for 2 years now and its an embarrassment to Garmin i chose the inreach mini specifically to use with my phone an ipad but its a complete joke there is ZERO back road maps they are insanely slow to just update this app and after 2 years they have expanded its capabilities zero percent ya texting works but i was hoping to have more then a fancy txting device considering Garmins background they have forced me too seek out other apps for mapping the whole situation seems completely ridiculous considering where technology is now days.
App is pathetically outdated

Garmin does not care about creating safety related products. If so, they would do more than the bare minimum which is this app
Preset messages

Don't understand why preset messages can't be edited and sent via this app. Ideally, I hope this app can do thinks the same with via the web.
Preset message a huge missing function

Version 2.8.6
Decent app that works ok. Lacks some additional functionality that would make it five stars.
Adding compatibility with Apple Watch would be massive. This would allow control without having g to remove the garmin or phone from a pocket. It would be also able to provide fitness tracking (heart rate, etc). Having a map on the watch for route finding would be fantastic.

Dark mode... seriously

Version 2.5.1
For the price we pay for the monthly subscription, I would expect minimum testing of the app on iOS 13 in dark mode. First, the login prompt is white text on white background. Second, try to read your message on the map. Again white text on white background. The inReach service is useful but this app is really bad. Also devs should add support for the Apple Watch. This is a good use case where you want to check messages without having to use the phone or go on the device itself. This app deserves more love from the devs.
Great other than wind speed in knots

Version 2.8.4
App works well with my inReach Mini. Please provide an option to choose how windspeed is displayed in this app. It is displaying in knots as opposed to miles or kilometres per hour. When I view the windspeed on the inReach device itself it properly shows kilometres or miles per hour for windspeed.
Pretty good - one glitch

Version 2.8.2
I just got an inReach mini and am getting used to it. So far I like the app but I found one glitch. When I go to download by region, there is no NEXT button. In fact, there is one, but it is invisible in the top right corner. Other than that I am pretty happy with it.
No Aerial Maps for Canada

Version 2.6.3
Garmin advertises the app and inreach to have the ability to download Aerial maps. This is not the case for Canada. False advertising if you ask me
Poor maps - Bluetooth not reliable

Version 2.6
I have an Inreach Explorer +. The device performance is as advertised, and I’m satisfied. However, the Iphone app EARTHMATE is not reliable for communication between my Iphone 7 and my Explorer+. After several months of testing the app, I can say that coupling works only once out of ten trials.
Topographic maps are also for all practical purpose not usable. I use the device in northern Quebec. Small lakes and pounds are not visible on the map. I still have to carry my old Garmin GPS with good Topographic maps on excursions, and use the Explorer+ only for satellite communication purpose.
Unless better maps are available in the future, I do not recommend the Explorer+. The basic Explorer (yellow body) or the Inreach Mini will do the same functions, without the maps, that are anyway not usable for serious users.
No aerial maps available for download

Disappointed. Only the most basic topo map is available in this app for my area. I would need the Aerial or at least hybrid of some kind showing trails and cut lines for this to be useful

Version 2.7.2
Le seul point négatif que je peux voir pour ce produit est la pauvreté d'information des cartes topographiques. S'il était possible de pouvoir implémenter des cartes de notre choix dans l'application cellulaire Earthmate, le GPS inreach deviendrait redoutable contre les compétiteurs!
Garbage, isn’t optimized for iPhone X

Version 2.8.1
I used this on a road trip through Western Canada and in the Northern Yukon this summer and with a few exceptions in remote areas, the downloadable maps are sufficient.
It works well with the Garmin Explorer+. Sometimes the Bluetooth connection dropped and required a restart of the iPad or switching BT on and off.
Best feature I found is the messaging. Sending 160 character messages from the remotest places are great. Also the weather forecasts.
I wished there would be a support page for the app for suggestions. I'd like to see a thin cross marker on mapping page center, for more accurate waypoint marking. I'd like to see movable waypoint markers too.
The Open Street Maps are okay, but often not detailed enough in remote areas, or even accurate. For Canada I'd like to be able to download the Toporama maps.
Also please add a distance measuring option that can measure finger movement along a planned trail or road section.
Other than that, a very good mapping and navigation app.
Great Product

Version 2.0
I've been using this app with the inReach SE. Works very well. It would be nice to see the web setup and account maintenance integrated into the app so everything is in one place and sync automatically. I can only get the device to pair to one device at a time and your have to tell the device to forget the previous pair to pair with a new device. The SMS is what I bought this for and it works well.
Works fine, features requested

Version 2.1
The Bluetooth sync is awesome. Most features work fine.
Wishlist:
1- Hide old tracks in app (like on the device)! Like past 24 h, etc.
2- Bug: The account always logs out in the latest version of the app. Was not doing that before.
3- Can't figure out how to switch between map types!!! Same problem on the device. More info in the doc and better interface needed.
Must have for Inreach

Version 2.6.1
Earthmate for iPhone has worked very well overall.
Have used it over 5 days off road motorcycling with no cell service and still communicated with home texting up to 30 times a day.
Won't be without my Inreach or earthmate. As far as I'm concerned the only way to go.

We used the Earthmate app for 4 months while traveling through 37 countries on our trip to and from Mongolia, crossing deserts and mountain ranges. Thanks to Earthmate and the InReach Explorer device we managed to successfully locate some of the most remotes and amazing areas we were headed to (not findable on regular maps), keep track of our progress and route, as well as keep in touch with our family and friends. The app allows you to send direct messages , and update you social media from anywhere in the world. I highly recommend the Earthmate app to anyone!! Definitely will us it again in a future expedition! Corinne- team Offtrax
35 countries thank you Earhtmate

Super easy to connect to InReach device thru Earthmate.
Downloadable maps for everywhere, including the middle of nowhere Mongolia.
Really appreciated knowing how much further a destination was when there was no road signage.
Elevation indicator was cool, especially travelling in the mountains and below sea level.
Its GPS in an app!
Maps need improving

Love the capabilities of the Delorme inreach. But the maps in the app are useless. There needs to be a true topo map or integrated into google maps. The ones on the app are brutal and waste of time
Maps have little detail beyond contours

2014-08-13
Functionally, the app seems to work fine with my Inreach. Maps however are practically devoid of information beyond the contours. Ideally all zoom ranges should be plastered with known and common names of mountains, streams, roads, things. That's how us humans relate to a place. Earthmate maps make me feel a bit lost. Especially as forest/ barren shading is also wildly off.

This app worked great with iPhone 4 & 5 models. Easily access all your contacts on your phone from Earthmate software. Map program is not suitable for mountain navigation but provides usefull place names and route tracking options.

Cette application rend votre Delorme vraiment intéressant, permettant d'envoyer et de recevoir des mails en mer très facilement (ça vous donnes un clavier). Permet de contrôler toutes les fonctions du Delorme et ajoute des possibilités comme de décider du laps de temps entre les points transmis pour économiser les batteries.
