Garmin inReach Messenger Plus, a 2025 CES Best of Innovation award winner, is Garmin’s first satellite communicator with photo and voice messaging in addition to global two-way texting, location sharing and SOS capabilities in a more personal and emotional way to communicate with friends and family for anyone who ventures beyond cell service.
Trusted by hundreds of thousands of users globally for communication and peace of mind, Garmin inReach satellite technology has contributed to more than 15,000 SOS activations being responded to, resulting in lives being saved.
“We are honored to receive a Best of Innovation award from CES, the highest distinction given in their awards program,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President, Global Consumer Marketing. “The inReach Messenger Plus is more than just a breakthrough in technology – it’s designed to keep you connected with friends and family and can provide added peace of mind in a worst-case scenario. This award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, challenging conventions and relentlessly pursuing innovation to deliver products that are an essential part of our customers’ lives.”
The inReach Messenger Plus provides seamless and reliable satellite communication as a standalone device or when paired to the Garmin Messenger mobile app on a compatible Android or iOS smartphone so users can exchange group texts, photos and voice messages and share their location with friends and family.
In the event of an emergency, the inReach Messenger Plus and Garmin Messenger app can send an interactive SOS text message to Garmin Response, a 24/7-staffed international emergency assistance coordination center. Photo and voice messages can also be shared during an SOS, giving response coordinators the ability to see and hear details of the emergency firsthand.
