Requesting an inReach Weather Forecast

NOTE: This feature is available only on a fēnix 9 Pro - inReach watch with an active inReach service plan.

If you are outside of an LTE coverage area, your fēnix 9 Pro - inReach watch can send a message to request a weather forecast using your inReach service plan. You can receive weather forecasts for your current location or a saved weather location. Weather forecasts incur data charges or additional charges on your inReach service plan. For the best results, you should ensure your watch has a clear view of the sky when you request a weather forecast over satellite.

  1. From the watch face, press to view the weather glance.
  2. Select the glance to view the most recent weather forecast for your location.
  3. Press .
  4. If necessary, select Change Location to request a weather forecast for an alternate location.

By default, the watch requests weather for your current location.

  1. Select Update Forecast.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to a communication satellite (Connecting to Communication Satellites).

The watch sends a request for the forecast. It may take several minutes to receive the weather forecast data.

NOTE: A marine forecast will be included for locations on an ocean or other large body of water, if available. If you are unable to get a marine forecast, select a location farther from the shore.

After the watch finishes downloading the data, you can view the forecast at any time until all the information in the forecast has expired. You can also update the forecast at any time.
