Requesting an inReach Weather Forecast

For the best results, you should ensure your navigator has a clear view of the sky when you request an inReach® weather forecast.

Your navigator can send a message to request a weather forecast using your inReach subscription. You can receive weather forecasts for your current location, a waypoint, GPS coordinates, or a location you choose on the map. Weather forecasts incur data charges or additional charges on your inReach subscription.

  1. Select Home.
  2. Select inReach > inReach Weather > New Forecast.

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

  3. If necessary, select Location to request a weather forecast for an alternate location.
  4. Select Get Forecast.

The navigator 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 further from the shore.

After the navigator 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 (Updating an inReach Weather Forecast).
