Requesting an inReach Weather Forecast Over Satellite

NOTE: This feature is available only on the GPSMAP^® H1i Plus satellite communicator with an active satellite subscription.

If you are in a location without active internet access, your GPSMAP H1i Plus satellite communicator can send a message to request a weather forecast using your inReach^® service plan. 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 service plan. For the best results, you should ensure your satellite communicator has a clear view of the sky when you request a weather forecast over satellite.

Select to open the apps list.
Select Weather.
If necessary, select Change Location to request a weather forecast for an alternate location.

By default, the satellite communicator requests weather for your current location.
Select Get Forecast.

The satellite communicator 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 satellite communicator 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 Over Satellite).
