PAIR, SYNC AND SHARE With Garmin Explore, you can pair your smartphone or tablet1 with your compatible Garmin device2 to sync and share data for off-grid adventures. Use downloadable maps for navigation anywhere. • Garmin Explore needs SMS permission to allow you to receive and send SMS text messages from your Garmin devices. We also need call log permission to display incoming calls on your devices. • Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

OFF-GRID NAVIGATION When paired with your compatible Garmin device2, the Garmin Explore app lets you use your mobile device for outdoor navigation, trip planning, mapping, and more — with or without Wi-Fi® connectivity or cellular service.

SEARCH TOOL Easily locate geographic points — such as trailheads or mountain summits — associated with your adventure.

STREAMING MAPS For pre-trip planning, you can use the Garmin Explore app to stream maps when you’re within cellular or Wi-Fi range — saving valuable time as well as storage space on your mobile device. Download maps for offline use when venturing outside cellular range.

EASY TRIP PLANNING Plan your next trip by downloading maps and creating courses. Specify your start and finish points, and automatically create a course you can sync with your compatible Garmin device2.

ACTIVITY LIBRARY Under the Saved tab, review and edit your organized data, including your saved waypoints, tracks, courses, and activities. See map thumbnails to easily recognize your trips.

SAVED COLLECTIONS The collections list allows you to quickly find all data related to any trip — making it easy to sort and locate the course or location you’re looking for.

CLOUD STORAGE The waypoints, courses, and activities you’ve created will automatically sync to your Garmin Explore web account when you’re within cellular or Wi-Fi range, preserving your activity data with cloud storage. A Garmin account is required for storing your data in the cloud.

LIVETRACK™ With the use of the LiveTrack™ feature, loved ones can follow your location in real time3 and see data such as distance, time and elevation.

What You Get with Garmin Explore • Unlimited map downloads; access topographic maps, USGS quad sheets, and more • Aerial imagery • Waypoints, tracking and route navigation • High-detail GPS trip logging and location sharing • Unlimited cloud storage of routes, waypoints, tracks, and activities • Online trip planning 1 See compatible devices at Garmin.com/BLE 2 See a full list of compatible devices at explore.garmin.com/appcompatibility 3 When used with your compatible smartphone, the Garmin Explore® app and when used with your compatible inReach-enabled Garmin device.

Unreliable is an understatement: constant app crashes, incomplete watch syncs, tons of missing data (tracks especially) when/if a full sync is claimed "complete." This is the worst of Garmin, sorry.

Works but needs improvements. When I look for address it need to be connected to the internet to find the address. Even with all the maps downloaded for "Offline Use." Once I find the address and sent to navigation device, it only send Coords to the device, when I get close to where I'm going I only get the coords which are useless. I like to see the house number.

Very poor app. I'm glad it's not something I rely on or use frequently, and the Fenix 8 has good enough maps for me. I wouldn't have bought my Fenix if I then had to rely on this terrible app for mapping!

L'application fonctionnait à peu près, mais l'accumulation de donnée la rend maintenant inutilisable. Elle plante dès l'ouverture, après quelques secondes...

just doesn't work after the latest update. The map is a blur. This app has potential but if they release it with critical bugs like this, what does it say about Garmin's respect for people who depend on their apps for their safety outdoors?
