Garmin Explore™ Description

Map, Track, Sync, and Share Your Trek From Anywhere
For adventure seekers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin Explore ecosystem offers a complete mobile navigation solution that — when paired with compatible Garmin devices¹ — lets you map, track and navigate your trek from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage.

Garmin Explore provides basic trip planning or viewing of maps you’ve preloaded on your device. Or you can use the mobile app to pair your smart device via Bluetooth® technology² with a compatible Garmin GPS device¹, so you can do and see even more.

Access Online Connectivity
Garmin Explore provides free online access to a wide range of additional capabilities. For example, you can download detailed topographic maps, color aerial imagery and other navigation aids directly to your mobile device. The maps and navigation data loaded onto your device can be used anywhere, anytime — even when you’re out beyond the reach of cellphone towers or internet connections.

Organize Your Data with Collections
Review and edit your waypoints, tracks, routes, and activities in your library. Add them to a collection to keep all the recorded data from a certain trip together in one place. For example, if you’re taking a long trip, you can plan different waypoints, tracks and routes for each day of the trip and combine them into one collection.

Your Mobile Cloud Connection
The Garmin Explore app will send and store the waypoints, planned routes, GPS tracks and Garmin activities you've recorded in the cloud, allowing you to access and use that data on the Garmin Explore web site to plan or review your adventures. You can also sync your cloud-stored data with a compatible Garmin device. A Garmin account is needed to store your data in the cloud. Your activities (e.g., runs, walks, hikes, etc.) include data such as distance, pace, activity time, location, etc. that were recorded by your device.

More Off-grid Capability with inReach® Technology
Use Garmin Explore with your inReach enabled devices, such as the GPSMAP® 66i navigator and satellite communicator, to turn your mobile device into a true off-the-grid satellite companion. In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team. Two-way messaging and LiveTrack location tracking via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network let you stay in contact globally. The Garmin Explore app allows you to access your phone’s contact list for easier messaging and sharing when connected.

Comments about Garmin Explore™ Android Version

In theory, it's cool that you can sync your activity and waypoints and explore them via your phone. However, it fails to download a detailed map (OpenStreetMap). It's extremely annoying. I've tried 20+ times to download that and every time it stops at some point without giving any error. So in practice it's useless.

Used to be perfect for managing and planning courses and tracks for my Garmin devices. After multiple updates it lost the ability to use online maps forcing me to download maps, wasting valuable space on my phone. You cannot choose a download folder on SD card. Additionally from opening and running the app only when needed manually they changed it into an annoying service app constantly running in the background. Why is there no option to turn it off? Why can't I keep using online maps?

When it's working this app is great. Maps are easy to read, sending messages is easy, but this last month or so I've had issues with it showing my current location in the app. My InReach has my current location, I could see how close I was to nearby waypoints I had saved. But the location in the app would sometimes take hours to update. Which became dangerous on a recent 150km where a new beaver damn flooded the trail with no tags in sight. Was stuck trying to find the next tag for about 30 min

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the Garmin Explore™ I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up

A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.

Can I play Garmin Explore™ on my computer?

Open up

Yes, you can play Garmin Explore™ on your computer by installing LDPlayer, an Android emulator. After installing LDPlayer, simply drag and drop the downloaded APK file into the emulator to start playing Garmin Explore™ on PC.
