GPSMap86i; Is there a forum for it? + External antenna for 86i?

4514404 29 days ago

Hi,

1. Why isnt the latest inReach device GPSMap 86i having its own forum to discuss features, usage, any issues? It only benefits the Garmin community and the users of all devices. Its better that Garmin themselves create a subforum instead of some random person makes a Garmin-forum that then is out of your control :P.

2. Is there an external antenna for GPSMap 86i to make the signal(s) even stronger?

Thanks.

I don’t believe the 86i has an antenna jack, if it did it would be under a little rubber flap like the usb-c port and the sd card slot, plus no antenna accessories are listed for it. I think the last external antennas were on the 64 series, not sure about 65 series, but no inreach devices have ever had them. Why there is no 86i forum, you’ll have to call Garmin and ask them I guess.
