Wow, impeccable timing. I've pretty much wrote the code in the last 24 hours, and it will send more detailed and most importantly, FREE premium weather updates.

cost: 1 message from plan

Premium

Extra cost per request.

I thought these were free? How are you getting Free premium? I pay 24.99/month annual contract.

8033034 is talking about his own solution, not the standard Garmin feature.

Is he getting them from InReach?

Supposedly he is getting them on his inReach device. The mechanism is unclear. If you really want to know, send him a PM.

Garmin moderated my code share unfortunately. Hopefully this message gets through. Yes I wrote some python script that queries api and returns to the device. By setting a preset message with the general lat/long I'm able to return the forecast free (in terms of preset messages). @poleaxxed on instagram if you want to reach out.
