Iridium will be performing systems maintenance on May 15th from 1 PM EDT (10 AM PDT) until 11 PM EDT (8 PM PDT). During this time new Iridium postpaid and prepaid activations will not be processed. Iridium prepaid recharges will not be processed during this time as well.
We want to advise you of some changes and how they affect you as an inReach subscriber.
Our name is changing
You may know that Garmin acquired DeLorme and the inReach product line in 2016. As the Canadian master distributor for inReach, Roadpost has been doing business under the name inReach Canada since 2011. With the acquisition, our master agreement is ending and Garmin will assume responsibility for future consumer retail sales. We expect this change to take place on September 20, 2017.
As part of that transition we are retiring the inReach Canada name; however, we’ll continue to support our entire community of inReach users just as before and with Garmin’s full backing, except now under the Roadpost banner.
How do these changes affect me?
Your inReach services and support will not be affected by this change. Whether active, suspended or deactivated, as a current or past subscriber nothing will change other than you’ll see the inReach Canada name and logo replaced with Roadpost.
It’s a pleasure to have you as a member of our large inReach community in Canada. Rest assured that we remain just as committed to maintaining your complete satisfaction, as we have been over our 25-year history!
Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us via email: inreachcare@roadpost.com
All the best,
The inReach Customer Care Team at Roadpost
FAQs:
Will there be any changes to current pricing?
As an existing or past subscriber, you can continue to take advantage of our affordable Standard Consumer Plans, and all the flexibility you currently enjoy with being able to change, cancel or suspend your service.
Can I add additional devices to my existing account?
Yes, if you need to activate another inReach on your current account just visit inreach.garmin.com and activate online as usual. Check out our knowledgebase article for info on how to add a device.
If I have a friend that’s new to inReach, can they sign up with Roadpost?
Anyone creating a new consumer account will automatically be directed to Garmin for activation and support. However, if they had an inReach account at any time prior to the transition, they can continue to enjoy Roadpost support and monthly plans when logging in with their same email address.
If I had an active device with inReach Canada in the past, can I reactivate with you in the future?
Yes! If you are a past subscriber, you will still be able to take advantage of the same great rate plans and service simply by logging into your existing account. Note that you may need to update your credit card information.
How does this affect me if I use inReach for business?
Anyone using inReach for business with an inReah Pro plan will continue to be able to create new enterprise/government accounts with Roadpost after the transition. Under the terms of a new agreement with Garmin, Roadpost Inc. will distribute and support the inReach Enterprise solution, and support inReach devices activated on our proprietary GeoPro Lone Worker Solution platform (geoprosolutions.com).
What will happen to the inReach for business product line?
Roadpost will offer the full suite of inReach Enterprise services on behalf of Garmin, as well as continue to service and support inReach devices activated on Roadpost’s proprietary GeoPro Lone Worker Safety Solutions platform. To learn more about using inReach for communication, safety or location awareness in a business or government organization, please call 1.888.949.9924, email corporatecare@roadpost.com or visit our websites:

Dear inReach Customer,
We just released a new version of the inReach sync application for Mac OS X users, which includes a critical fix for a bug contained in the previous version that caused the auto-update feature to malfunction. So in order for your sync app to continue to perform optimally with your inReach, please download and install the new version as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of having to perform a manual update, but doing so will ensure that your sync app will continue to auto update in the future.
There is no need to uninstall the previous version. Click here to download the new installer. Once downloaded, run that installer and it will step you through updating to the new version. When you run inReach Sync for the first time, after logging in, you can verify you have the correct version by selecting About in the menu. The version number should be 1.2.2.8094.
We are continuously looking to enhance the inReach experience and improve the performance of the device with updates. So it is always a good idea to visit your Explore account regularly to check for firmware upgrades as a part of your trip preparation routine. Once you have the new version of the sync app installed, you can update your inReach now by connecting it to your computer and clicking here to login to perform a full sync.
If you have any questions or problems regarding syncing, please email our Technical Support Team at inreachtech@roadpost.com or call us at 1-800-337-3155 (416-253-4962 outside of Canada).
