Re: Garmin inReach and weather apps

 

I found OpenSnow and OpenSummit to be great apps for weather prediction, smoke maps, etc. One subscription gets both unlimited. I believe it was $29/yr.

I use the OpenSnow to track the snow fall predictions - the main reason it was put together by some great weather predictors and not your common weather station hack. Brian, who covers the Tahoe region is fantastic in his detailed reports and discusses the various models.

OpenSummit is the summer app that provides weather at numerous peaks. One can even download a map section. This provides snow depths, smoke coverage, and many other overlays.

They do great predictions out 5 days, which is typical. They go out to 10 days as well. Also, they operate world wide as well; though I have not looked at areas such as middle of Siberia or China or Africa, etc.

I have been using both for several years now, and have been very pleased with both apps.

Greetings to beloved community,
Two questions for those familiar with - with Garmin discontinuing inReach SE and SE+ what options do we have in terms of texting directly within devise?
That was the whole purpose of me holding into my old SE. I do not feel great about needing frequent recharge both phone and Garmin. So never used Earthmate app on the trail and learned to do customized texts within inReach itself. One reason I would like to continue with this feature is because something can happen to the phone (they are not as sturdy now as Nokias ones were) and for that matter I had an accident on the trail with my phone falling into the stream and unusable for the rest of the trip. That means with new line of Garmin mini and messenger , just like zoleo you are bound to use an app?
The other questions is your preferred offline weather apps?
Someone on FB immediately jumped in with “text your daughter or partner etc”, but that wasn’t my question. I like to have my independent plan and options.
Thoughts?
I know there are tremendous engineering brains and backcountry loners here :)
Thank you!
