Weather
inReach Weather: You can receive weather information through your inReach subscription. Your device can
send an inReach message to request basic, extended, or marine weather forecasts. You can receive weather
forecasts for your current location or a new location, such as a saved waypoint. Weather forecasts incur data
charges or additional charges on your inReach subscription.
Requesting an inReach Weather Forecast
For best results, you should ensure your device has a clear view of the sky when you request an inReach
weather forecast.
1 From the home page, press
or to scroll through the main menu options.
2 Select Weather.
3 Press OK to open the options menu.
4 Select Update Forecast.
5 If necessary, select a forecast type.
NOTE: For best results, you should request a marine forecast for a location away from shore and over a large
body of water. Marine forecasts are not available for land locations or inland lakes.
The device sends a request for the forecast. It may take several minutes to receive the weather forecast data.
After the device finishes downloading the data, you can view the forecast at any time until all of the information
in the forecast has expired. You can also update the forecast at any time.
NOTE: Updating a forecast incurs data charges or additional usage charges.
