Editing or syncing "Quick Text" messages so I'm not stuck with default versions.

mccgsm

As best I can tell from Garmin/Inreach sources, I should have 20 Quick Text messages that I can pre-draft and select from when texting from my 67i, and that used to work. Since they changed the plan structure, the "quick text" messages on the 67i are dumb boilerplate statements apparently provided as defaults by Garmin. I have the 20 messages prepopulated on my Iphone Explore app, but they do not sync to the device, and I cannot manually edit them on the device. Doesn't matter if I do it via USB from my laptop/website or by bluetooth from my app. Still the default choices, which are pretty useless.... Any ideas?

    I’ve had that problem before too, though I can’t remember how it resolved itself. Some suggestions, first off is your 67i syncing at all? Maybe just try it on the Explore website. I don’t think I’ve ever used the explore app to do that. Those apps can become corrupt, so try reloading them. Try it signed out of the messenger app. Those apps are not 100% bug free, but try the explore website and don’t forget to save changes.

    I always do this on the explore website, this did not fail so far

    So did I, until the sync stopped working. Per my update, I got it working again with phone support from Garmin, and jumping through all the hoops of forgetting the device on the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, etc. etc. Why Garmin can't develop and sustain a bug-free bluetooth system, I don't know. But its working again, hurray!

    Wound up calling tech support at Garmin and somehow, doing the same things I'd already done several times, but it finally reset, synced properly, and I now have the correct messages in the right place, thankfully. I dearly love the Garmin hardware, and its GPS functionality, but I dearly hate the endlessly unstable, bug-ridden bluetooth "functionality" that I've had to fight for years with my 67i. It's 2026, and they really should be able to do better! Still, nice lady and good help, and problem solved. For now. Yay!
