How to Download the EVERYWHERE Companion Mobile App
Download the EVERYWHERE Companion App to pair with a Garmin inReach device
The EVERYWHERE Companion app comes with every inReach device and pairs with it over Bluetooth to expand what your device can do. On its own, the inReach can only send and receive messages and trackpoints over satellite, which needs a clear view of the sky to work. When you pair the Companion app, your phone can pick up that work using its cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. That means you can keep sending messages and sharing your location even when a clear sky view is hard to find, and you get a simple, easy-to-use interface for doing it. The Companion app is the best way to get the full value out of your inReach device.
