Re: Garmin inReach and weather apps
You can send canned messages out of Inreach Mini, you don't need to use the

Thank you ? Derek,
So no issues to get all that info offline , right ? I’m not happy with inReach weather reports for that matter.

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

As we are now into March and closer to the April 1 level which is the level
measured against for the snowpack in the Sierras it is becoming very clear
