Thread: inReach no longer sending GPS pin in messages

@scottrods - the location link was disabled last year for both Pivotel and Garmin InReach services.
The guts of it was that the NZ govts spam filter on international messages to NZ phones was stopping messages getting through at all.
Incidentally it’s also the reason some longer messages don’t arrive at the recipients phone, if it arrives in two messages (over 300-ish characters?) it’s seen as spam and filtered out.
On the Garmin InReach, you can select adding ‘send location’ or some such, but it comes through as a Lat/long in text format, rather than a link.

Nz is the only place in the world where it’s been disabled
From memory, it’s still working if you send the message to an email address (I’ll check tomorrow)
