This rugged GPS handheld has a modern design, preloaded maps and built-in inReach® Plus technology1 to stay in touch beyond cellular coverage. It’s time to hit the trails.
Garmin today unveiled the adventure-ready GPSMAP® H1i Plus, an exciting new flagship GPS handheld navigator that boasts higher-bandwidth inReach® Plus technology to give users more ways to stay in touch beyond cellular coverage1. With an active inReach plan, hikers, backpackers, mountaineers and passionate adventurers who go off-grid can snap and share photos directly from the device as well as exchange voice memos and texts. Users are also able to trigger an interactive SOS message in the event of an emergency. Reimagined with a bright, sunlight-readable 3.5-inch touchscreen and physical buttons for increased flexibility, the GPSMAP H1i Plus boasts up to 145 hours of battery life and extensive preloaded maps with the option to purchase an Outdoor Maps+ plan for access to premium mapping content.
“When your journey takes you off the grid, the new GPSMAP H1i Plus lets you connect with loved ones through a photo, a text message or a voice memo where cell phones do not work. Now, you can share your adventures in real-time, sending photos when you’re at the mountain summit or communicate with friends and family from the trail. The inReach Plus capabilities also give users peace of mind when exploring, allowing them to trigger an SOS message to Garmin Response and provide loved ones back home the ability to track their location during the expedition.”
Superior inReach Plus technology
With an active inReach plan, the GPSMAP H1i Plus not only helps users stay in touch with family, friends and others in their group, it can also provide communication with emergency services when needed. In the event of an emergency, it can send an interactive SOS text message to Garmin ResponseSM, a 24/7-staffed international emergency assistance coordination center. They provide updates to users and emergency contacts on the response effort, including confirmation when help is on the way, and remain available as the incident is being resolved. Photo and voice messages can also be shared, giving response coordinators the ability to see and hear details of the emergency first-hand.
With no satellite dead zones, users can enjoy higher-bandwidth communication when traversing through wilderness. What’s more, when venturing off-the-grid, loved ones back home can follow along using LiveTrack™ location sharing see a user’s trip progress, including distance, time and elevation.
