1. Where can I learn more about Garmin’s inReach APIs?

Here are links to useful API documents:

IPC Inbound: http://download.garmin.com/DeLorme/W...PC_Inbound.pdf
IPC Outbound: http://download.garmin.com/DeLorme/W...C_Outbound.pdf
Corporate CDR Spec: http://download.garmin.com/DeLorme/W...e CDR Spec.pdf

2. What do I do when I have a programming problem with the Garmin inReach API?

After reviewing the documents above, we encourage programmers to use this DeLorme Forum on the topic “inReach API Programming”. If your question is not answered there, please post a question there to share with the community. Alternatively, if you do not receive a sufficient response from the forum, you may file a Support ticket at https://support.garmin.com/

3. What information should I provide if I am having trouble programming with the Garmin inReach API?

Please provide:

Account information. (But remember that this is a public forum.)
The devices you are communicating about
A copy of your scripts. Since this is a public forum, avoid including passwords and other private information.
A copy of the network traffic in question. A good tool for capturing this information is Fiddler2 (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler), a free web debugging proxy.

Can you provide correct links to the web api documents?

It appears that there is now a Garmin help page for web API information at https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=Oa5mP2D5Zf7NZ8P17ATN58.

This links to:
IPC Inbound: http://files.delorme.com/support/inreachwebdocs/IPC_Inbound.pdf
IPC Outbound: http://files.delorme.com/support/inreachwebdocs/IPC_Outbound.pdf

Both of these are Delorme-branded documents from 2015, at a delorme.com URL.

The help page also has a link for information about KML feeds, but that link appears to be incorrect. A correct link seems to be https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?fa...fJ5UxjUbA9rMY8.

The KML information isn't working for me as of September 7, 2018, but I'm hopeful since it's on a garmin.com page.

The KML feeds are working again for me as of April 10, 2019. What worked is feeds of the form: https://inreach.garmin.com/feed/Share/SampleName1

and, for a different inReach account: https://us0.inreach.garmin.com/feed/Share/SampleName2

Precise capitalization of "feed" and "Share" seems to be important. Capitalization of the SampleName might also matter.

In addition, the incorrect link to the KML feed information has been fixed.
