SOS Messaging
Explore with peace of mind knowing you can send an interactive SOS message1 with your GPS coordinates to Garmin Response, our 24/7-staffed international coordination center, for help in an emergency. And, instead of relying on tower-based cellphone coverage, your messages are sent via the global Iridium satellite network.
