  3. Enter your Configuration Key — input your unique key to link your account.
  4. Message History Prompt — select "No" unless you are restoring messages from a previous setup.
  5. Enable Permissions — allow access to Location, Bluetooth, and Notifications. Contacts access is optional.
  6. Bluetooth Pairing — tap "Yes" to pair with your device now, or "No" to do it later. Note that Bluetooth pairing may require extra steps on the device.

Pairing the EVERYWHERE App with your device

Important: For full functionality, use only the EVERYWHERE App. Uninstall any Garmin apps and unpair the device from your phone's Bluetooth before pairing with EVERYWHERE. Always ignore prompts to download Garmin apps.

On the device

  1. Press MENU twice from the map screen (home page), then navigate to Setup > Bluetooth > Continue.
  2. Keep the "Pair Phone" screen active, showing "Waiting for phone."

  2. Find the Pairing Code that matches your device, tap the circle to select it, then tap OK.
  3. Confirm Bluetooth shows as Connected in the top-left of the app status bar.

Activating a transferred device

Tip: If your device was purchased directly from EVERYWHERE, you can skip these steps.

Step 1 — Factory reset

Press MENU twice, then navigate to Setup > Reset > Reset All Settings > OK.

Step 2 — Activate the device

Tip: The device needs a clear view of the sky during activation to connect to satellites.

  1. Press MENU twice, then navigate to inReach Activation > Next > Skip Pairing > Yes > Next > Next.
  2. Wait for the screen to display "Activation Complete."

Step 3 — Enable Auto Track

Press MENU twice, then navigate to Setup > Tracking. Confirm that Auto Track is On.

Testing your signal

Tip: Run a signal test before heading into the field to confirm your device is functioning and your satellite subscription is active.

  1. Press MENU twice, then navigate to Tracking > inReach Utilities.
  2. Select Communications Test > Test.
  3. Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky.
  4. When you hear a chirp and see "Your Subscription is Currently Active," your device is ready to use.

Sending a preset message

Preset Messages (also called "Check-In" on the device) are one-touch messages set up in the EVERYWHERE Hub and sent to pre-assigned contacts. They are a fast way to confirm your status without typing anything.

  1. Press MENU twice.
  2. Navigate to Messages > Send Check-In.
  3. Select your preset message.

A USB sync pushes Contacts, Preset Messages, and Quick Messages from the EVERYWHERE Hub to your device. App users get contact updates automatically over the air, but device-only users need a USB sync to receive those changes.

  2. Connect your GPSMAP 67i to a computer using the Garmin USB-C data cable.
  3. Transfer the file by dragging and dropping it into the root folder of the device.
