Garmin’s InReach products are designed for extreme adventurers. They allow you to stay connected with SMS messaging, get GPS tracking and navigation, and send out an emergency distress signal — all while never needing a cell tower.
However, since these devices do so much, they are very expensive. Additionally, what if you’re not an extreme adventurer but would love a way to stay in touch with folks while you’re away from a cell tower? Why would you need all the other aspects of an InReach device? Enter the Garmin InReach Messenger, which focuses mostly on the messaging aspects of InReach products and drops the price significantly.
