Maps+ with Inreach mini 2

pc_davi 1 month ago

The newest update actually takes away usable maps in the app. Since the Inreach mini 2 is not supported for Maps+ support, multiple maps are no longer available in the Explore app. Can these be enabled again after the update or are mini 2 users losing functionality?

As far as I know you can use Outdoor Maps+ with the new Explore app update (version 4) when it becomes available for Android. For the Mini 2 Outdoor Maps+ is not supported as the device has no mapping capabilities.

Hi JungleJim, thanks for replying. Thanks for the info and I agree. Somehow, version 4 got pushed to me a few days ago. What I noticed is that the maps that I had in the version 3 app, there were 6, no longer were there with version 4.. They've been replaced with only 2. For me, owning the Mini 2, its not a good replacement since I can't use the Maps+ on the device anyway. I uninstalled version 4 and checked again on Google Play Store. It seems version 3 is now back. I installed it and now have my maps back. Not sure what's going on with the version switch back.

Other layers should be available for streaming with or without an Outdoor Maps+ subscription. If you are not seeing options for other layers when streaming maps, please feel free to message me or contact Product Support directly for assistance.

With the new app, I can only download one map without paying the subscription price. Not sure why Garmin doesn't just come out and say this instead of trying to push it unspoken.
