FAQs

1. How much are the service plans for Garmin inReach products for the Garmin Montana 710i?

You can find these online here.

The video below explains the different consumer subscriptions that are available:

2. When do I choose and activate my inReach service plan

You do this online with Garmin as you register and set up your inReach Satellite Communicator.

3. Can you put your Garmin inReach account on hold or stop it for a period?

There are a number of options to do this – 

 - inReach Enabled – This you can select as long as you have had a full subscription for one month or more.

This then costs - £7.99 per month and you get –

Unlimited SOS and messaging with Garmin Response

£0.10 per check-in message or reaction

£0.10 per tracking point

£0.50 per text message or weather forecast

inReach Enabled is nicely buried away, so once you have your inReach product from GPS Training please get in touch with us and we can talk you through activating this option.

      - Cancel your plan – If you do this you then have to pay for the Activation fee again - £39.99 and if you wanted to go on the inReach enables (as above) you would then have to pay at least 1 month full price before going onto inReach Enabled.

Therefore if you are not going to use your unit for x 7 months or more this is a cheaper option than going onto inReach Enabled.

4. Does the Garmin inReach work using mobile phone signal?

No, and communication (text messages and e-mail) is done using the global Iridium satellite coverage.

5. Does the inReach work in every country?

inReach devices operate on the Iridium satellite network, which provides 100% global coverage. However, some countries require prior permission for the authorized use of a satellite communication device and some countries have banned the use of satellite communications devices. In addition, United States embargoes prohibit providing satellite communications products and services in some countries.

The list below provides our best understanding of countries that may regulate or prohibit the use of a satellite communicator or are on a list of U.S. embargoed countries:

• Taliban controlled Afghanistan
• Crimea region of the Ukraine
• Cuba
• Georgia (SMS)
• India
• Iran
• North Korea
• Myanmar
• Sudan
• Syria
• Thailand
• Vietnam
• China
• Russia

*Regulations and the list above may change without notice. It is important to review the restrictions for satellite communicators for any country you may be travelling to in order to avoid issues for using or carrying an inReach satellite communication device. Your travel destination may have recently changed its laws or policies for various reasons. The US State Department has a list of foreign embassies and consulates that you can contact for more information.

NOTE: SMS messages to Telecom Personal Argentina or Georgia (country) subscribers cannot be delivered as there is currently no route available to this carrier through our international SMS delivery partner. Ghana does not currently have SMS messaging. Currently, there is also an issue with inReach messages being received by SMS phone numbers in Mexico and Romania. For more details, see - inReach Messages Not Received by SMS Phone Numbers in Mexico and inReach Messages Not Received by SMS Phone Numbers in Romania.

– Garmin Montana 710i with Europe TOPO ACTIVE Mapping

Garmin TOPO ACTIVE mapping is a proper digital map, as you zoom in you get more information and as you zoom out you get less. BUT, it is not an Ordnance Survey map, therefore it does not differentiate between Bridleways and Footpaths, it just marks them as paths. 

It covers 47 European countries, compiled using the community-generated OpenStreetMap (OSM) database. Coverage for: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (Kaliningrad only), San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom and the Vatican City.

TopoActive Japan, Africa, Antarctica, Australia & New Zealand, China Mainland, Greenland, Hong Kong, Korea, Middle East, North America, South America, Singapore/Malaysia/Vietnam/Philippines, Taiwan & Indonesia/Thailand.

These maps can be installed using Map Manager with Garmin Express on a computer or if you use Garmin Express to add your Wifi to the device they can be downloaded via wifi.
(Additional storage may be required depending on the size of the map download, a 32gb size max micro card can be installed for this if required)
