We support the Garmin InReach for GPS tracking.

To setup GPS tracking with the Garmin InReach we will need two things.

  1. Your Boat’s Name

  2. Your Garmin MapShare feeds URL

  3. Ensure that the feed URL does not have a password enabled as PredictWind does not support password-protected feeds.

Please follow this process to get your personal MapShare feeds URL:

2. Once logged in, go to the Social or Mapshare Tab

3. Check that MapShare is turned ON; If Mapshare is turned off, click the “MapShare OFF” button:

4. With MapShare ON, look and click on the 'feeds' link

  1. Send to us by InApp message or by email support@predictwind.com the URL under 'Raw KML Data' It will look like this, Please ensure that the URL is accurate and does not have a password restriction as this could prevent integration.

Additional Information PredictWind tracking pages update automatically when the Garmin inReach device is active and properly integrated.

Please see an example of the tracking at http://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Totem

You can insert your customised tracking link into your website or blog. Alternatively, you can just email the website link to friends and family. PredictWind tracking data is retained and set to "NEVER DELETE," ensuring availability even during subscription interruptions.

The GPS tracking with the Garmin InReach is only available if you have an active PredictWind Standard or Professional Forecast subscription.
