Description

Map, Track, Sync and Share Your Trek From Anywhere For adventure seekers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin Explore ecosystem offers a complete mobile navigation solution that — when paired with a compatible Garmin device¹ — lets you map, track and navigate your trek from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage. Garmin Explore provides basic trip planning or viewing of maps you’ve preloaded on your device. Or you can use the mobile app to pair your smart device via BLUETOOTH®² technology with a compatible Garmin GPS device, so you can do and see even more. Access Online Connectivity Garmin Explore provides free online access to a wide range of additional capabilities. For example, you can download detailed topographic maps, color aerial imagery and other navigation aids directly to your mobile device. The maps and navigation data loaded onto your device can be used anywhere, anytime — even when you’re out beyond the reach of cellphone towers or internet connections. Manage Your Collections, Tracks and Routes Review and edit your waypoints, tracks, routes and activities in your library. Add them to a collection to keep all the recorded data from a certain trip together in one place. For example, if you’re taking a long trip, you can plan different waypoints, tracks and routes for each day of the trip and combine them into one collection. Your Mobile Cloud Connection The Garmin Explore app will send and store the waypoints, planned routes, GPS tracks and Garmin activities you've recorded in the cloud, allowing you to access and use that data on the Garmin Explore web site to plan or review your adventures. You can also sync your cloud-stored data with a compatible Garmin device. A Garmin account is needed to store your data in the cloud. Your activities (e.g., runs, walks, hikes, etc.) include data such as distance, pace, activity time, location, etc. that were recorded by your device. More Off-grid Capability with inReach® Technology Use Garmin Explore with your inReach enabled devices, such as the GPSMAP® 66i navigator and satellite communicator, to turn your mobile device into a true off-the-grid satellite companion. In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team. Two-way messaging and LiveTrack location tracking via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network let you stay in contact globally. The Garmin Explore app allows you to access your phone’s contact list for easier messaging and sharing when connected.

    I’m enjoying the app so far. User friendly for the most part. This app needs to have CarPlay accessibility. I hope it comes soon. 👍👍

    Very easy to. Pair. I love the Mini2 with auto updates without connecting to a computer & access to all my contacts I have had a InReach of some model since 1914 with Delorme. The Mini2 is by far the beat version to date. I am a Garmin fenatic. Feniz 7X. Dog tracking collars etc

    It works quite well. Mostly intuitive interface. Satellite imagery is quite out of date. A zoom larger than 300 feet would be nice. Track plots are slightly erratic but that’s probably the collar GPS units themselves. Overall nice system.

    This app allowed me to improve each day by keeping tabs on my health. I’ve joined challenges and synced seamlessly with Strava. The ability to create gpx files on the go while out on trail is essential to adjusting your plans when needed. I use it with the Garmin InReach mini 2 and love the software and hardware. Will upgrade from my Instinct watch to something more consistent with my current level of exercise. It comes with training and exercise plans. I’ve had this for a couple years. The watches battery lasts a week or more even with active use.
  • Non sync

    The gps syncs with the app but never displays accurate or real time information regarding g tracks or waypoints. Seek other options.
