Delorme AG InReach Explore - Compatible?

Hi,

Someone is selling me a Delorme InReach Explore, I have the doubt if it is compatible with Garmin InReach Services, I prentend to use it in an expedition to himalaya. Does someone know if I could use it with that sat service from Garmin?

Thanks

The original SE and Explorer devices are still shown as supported on the Garmin support web site. For example: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?productID=584863&tab=topics In fact, even the earlier devices (which had no displays) are still listed as supported.

Garmin purchased the entire inReach line from DeLorme. IIRC, everything up through the SE+/Explorer+ was originally designed and built by DeLorme.

That said, you should probably double-check with tech support to be sure. Also be aware that these are legacy devices. They are no longer sold by Garmin and likely cannot be repaired if they fail. Depending on your use case, newer devices (such as the SE+/Explorer+, Mini or the GPSMAP 66i) may have better features.
